ArcGIS Pro is desktop GIS software developed by Esri, which replaces their ArcMap software generation.[1] The product was announced as part of Esri's ArcGIS 10.3 release,[2] ArcGIS Pro is notable in having a 64 bit architecture, combined 2-D, 3-D support, ArcGIS Online integration and Python 3 support.[3]

A major version update occurred with the release of ArcGIS Pro 3.0 in June 2022. Several major changes include: the dropping of support for geocoders created with ArcMap 10.x and versions of ArcGIS Pro 2.9.x and earlier; project files created or modified with ArcGIS Pro 3.0 are not readable by versions 2.9.x and earlier; geodatabases created in 3.0 may not be fully compatible with prior versions; and perhaps most significantly, Parcel Fabric datasets created in prior versions must be upgraded to be fully compatible in version 3.0.[4]

ArcGIS Pro released 3.6, which is supposed to, "enhance production, performance, and quality."

Calculate Field Toolbar allows users to select columns of data, and customize expressions using software such as "Python, SQL, Arcade, or VBScript." [5]

Symbology enables users to correlate displayed or hidden data points to be reflected on personal maps, which can be grouped by subcategories symbolically, or via polygon layering. Polygon layers may be manually generated by ArcGIS Users, or preset polygon shapes generated by ArcGIS Pro. Symbology may also be organized by color schemes.[6]

Legend Context Menu [7] is a feature that includes global platforms, such as the social network, iNaturalist. [8] ArcGIS Pro users can pull information from social network updates, thus adding outside source content via legend systems to the layers toolbar within personal maps.

ModelBuilder has been redesigned in ArcGIS Pro 3.6, to include a "Suitability Model Comparison Interface, and Gaussian Splat Layers" thus enhancing maps.[9] Users may input map features for purposes in addition to representing data points extracted from shape files. The Suitability Model Comparison Interface compares similar geographic data points using predefined statistics. Comparisons are displayed two dimensionally using heat maps, and represented statistically by formulas, graphs, and analysis via the pop-up comparison statistics pane. Gaussian splat layers[10] are visualized in ArcGIS Pro (created in ArcGIS Reality) in three dimensional layers representing structures, natural life, and other topographical features using geometric figures.

Time Properties[11] can be found in under 2D Layers, under Map Contents. Quantitative data is represented in the form of "labels, tables, reports, and popups" and can reveal trends in data by identifying and selecting parameters.

Compare Schemas, found under geo processing allows users to compare two schemas within shapefiles. A base schema will be scrubbed against test schemas, and will produce a generated schema file, HTML document. Once the HTML document has been generated, comparisons between the two schemas are listed as well as tabled. [12]

Google 3D Basemaps combines standard google basemaps with topographical land features, in addition to government data, infrastructure, manmade features, and natural land features. All of the capabilities may be combined in various base map formats.[13]
