ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro: Analysing your data

hi everyone and you've joined us today for analyzing your data now this is the third part in our arcmap to arcgis pro series and today we'll take a look at the tools and methods available to you when transitioning your analysis workflows to arcgis pro now i'm really excited to introduce today's speaker and joining us to talk pro is mary murphy from our perth office now coming from an academic background in education gis and remote sensing mary is passionate about working with all levels of geospatial analysts as a trainer and educator she endeavors to foster both enthusiasm for geospatial analysis and the continued development of gis solutions now i know that there's a lot mary has prepared to show us so i'll hand across to mary now thank you very much tara for those lovely words so let me just share my screen um yeah so thank you very much bianca and as ta has said i do love working with gis and remote sensing data people organizations across all levels all levels of expertise all fields etc so i'm delighted to be here introducing you how to migrate your analysis workflows from arcmap into arcgis pro so let's set the scene and do a brief call back to the couple of sessions that have gone previously so in session one chris land covered mastering mapping and visualization in arcgis pro in session two again with chris he's been very busy and accompanied by craig carpenter they covered effective and efficient editing in arcgis pro and if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend you take a look at them when you do have a moment to do so today in the continuation of the theme of this webinar series our goal is to introduce you to the analysis environment of arcgis pro and provide some methods of migrating your analysis workflows from arcmap to arcgis pro so first we will compare the analysis environment in arcgis pro to that of our map then we'll look at migrating our models and our scripts into arcgis pro then we'll do a quick tour of some of the powerful analysis tools and techniques that you can undertake using arcgis pro and again unfortunately we don't have time to cover everything but hopefully we'll cover enough to whet your appetite for you to dig deeper later on and then finally we'll look at our next step so whether you're new to geoprocessing or the spatial analysis world or you're looking to expand your current repertoire of techniques or you're beginning to make that move from arcmap to arcgis probe we're going to begin by exposing you to the where of analysis in arcgis pro and remembering that we do have hundreds of tools some of the what too for the how we have training available that gives you hands-on practice and we'll talk about that at the end of the session to begin let's look at what makes arcgis pro such a powerful mapping visualization and analysis application it's a 64-bit application versus arcmaps 32 it's a modern context-sensitive interface so that's allowing you to work more efficiently we have the capacity now for multiple views so multiple map views multiple scene views and multiple layouts all within the same project again increased efficiency and easier for data management it also allows for faster processing with eight gigs of ram recommended so this is excellent use for us as analysts and we can now also work with both 2d and 3d data in a single project so there's no need for separate applications it also features a comprehensive range of spatial analysis tools and workflows which we as analysts can leverage to quickly analyze our data solve complex location oriented problems find patterns assess trends and ultimately make decisions so now that we've talked the talk let's take a tour of the new analysis environment within arcgis pro so in arcmap the three primary ways people conduct analysis are using individual geoprocessing tools maybe model builder or python scripts arcgis pro continues to offer these three methods for performing analysis so let's compare the analysis environment how they look in arcmap versus how they look now in arcgis pro that is where in arcgis pro these items are now found and how we can work with them in arcmap we were working with an interface comprised of menus toolbars drop-down lists and windows lots and lots of windows most of which prevented us from working with other tasks until these windows were closed so here for example we have that menu bar the geo processing drop down from which we can open our arc toolbox window the results window if we wish the search window and so on and i tend to dock them over on the right-hand side here and if we're looking for geoprocessing tools we can search for them by just going to the toolbox or use that search window so for example here we're looking for the buffer tool and i can open that buffer tool fill in the parameters again in a little pop-out window and we were also limited in arcmap to working with 2d analysis so what's changed what's new in arcgis pro in arcgis pro we're now working with an interface comprised of tabs and ribbons groups and panes and views most of which is context sensitive in nature so in arcgis pro at the top here you'll see i'm looking at a melbourne tree analysis map view but at the top of the gui here we have tabs and as you click on these different tabs we have a ribbon for each tab so on the analysis tab on the analysis ribbon we have different sections called groups and these groups have different names so geoprocessing tools etc the geoprocessing group you can have the history button press that you'll get this history pane open and this is the equivalent of the results window in arcmap so i can search for the tools that i've previously run see if there's any schedule tools and actually look in here for previous raster functions i may have run as well we can also open a new model from here python notebook or window from here we'll look at those later we can deal with environment settings from here for the application or for the project and from here we can work with some ready-to-use tools we will also talk about those later as well and we can also click on the tools button to get this geoprocessing pane so let's do that again so in the geoprocessing pane we have three tabs favorites toolboxes and portal the favorites tab pretty obvious we can have some favorite tools at the top half of this pane and down the bottom we have some recently used tools so we can add and remove tools very quickly by right-clicking remove or add to that favorites list we can also search now in the geo geoprocessing pane for a tool that we were looking for so this geoprocessing pane includes not only the arc toolbox window but also the search window as well we can do the good old navigating to a toolbox to look for a tool still within here and when we do find a tool that we want to use it will open within the geoprocessing pane and we can run the tools schedule it etc and if we do want to work with the environments of the tool similar to arcmap we can do so as well from within the geoprocessing pane and those ready-to-use tools are also available via the portal tab in our geo-processing pane what else can we do in here well we did say we can work with 2d in 3d but we can also work with the other groups that we have in here as well so let's look at those first so here we have the tools gallery and we can add and remove items from the tool gallery any tool we would like and we can configure this tools gallery to suit our needs as an analyst so down the bottom here you'll see customize so this customize options allows us to add new groups rename them add tools we particularly want to work with we can also get to some of our exploration so there's 2d and 3d workflows along here and we have our raster functions so in the raster functions which we will discuss later as well we can see certain functions within here or we can search for them if we want to either and we'll return to this later in a bit more detail again i did mention that we can work with 3d so we can insert a brand new 3d scene or we can convert a 2d map to a 3d scene either local or global so i've converted my 2d melbourne map to a 3d scene here a local scene and you can see from the contents pane on the left hand side that i can work with 2d and 3d layers within that scene we can also dock them side by side and we can go even further we can actually start to center and scale and link these views so as i'm navigating around the 2d space i'm also navigating around the 3d space and vice versa if i wish we can also play with the 3d appearance so the symbology for my layers i can do things like extrusion for my 3d layer so for example if i had a building footprints layer i could extrude the building footprints based on a field for example and make them blocks on the landscape to make them 3d so there's lots of scope for working with 2d and 3d in arcgis pro so i've collated some of the most immediate terminology and interface changes that you'll encounter once you dive into analysis in arcgis pro again this isn't a comprehensive list but it should be enough to get you started and get you exploring so that gets us working with the individual geoprocessing tools in arcgis pro and in that last demo i also briefly pointed out where model builder and python windows can be accessed in arcgis pro so let's next look at how we can bring our models and python scripts into arcgis pro from arcmap and let's start with models and model builder models that contain only system tools will run in arcgis pro without any additional work on your part for models that contain custom tools you will need to run a geoprocessing tool called analyze tools for pro to make sure that those tools work properly and as expected let's take a look at model builder in arcmap and then in arcgis pro so here we can see that i am editing a model in arcmap i'll run it after validating it and you can see the usual steps it's running through etc and it adds the the data set to the table of contents i can then go in and look at the parameters i've set on this maybe i'm going to set up a geoprocessing tool with this model down the line and i have a number of parameters so let's save that jump into pro and see what that's going to look like next so i've connected to the same toolbox in here and in here you can see i can right click and edit it same as i would have done in arcmap so that means i can validate it and run it and that's because this particular model just has straight out of the box system tools so let's close this and see what else we can do so if i then wanted to maybe save this because i'm saving it in pro we have to make sure that you know it will be saved to a new version so if you want to continue to work with that in map make sure you need to save it make a copy of it if you wish you can also see the parameters are honored when we move across so how about starting from scratch well we can right click on our toolbox new model like we would have done previously no problems and from the analysis tab again in our geoprocessing group we can also use that model builder button to open a new model and it will be added to our default toolbox and as we would have done in arcmap we just open the geoprocessing pane and we can drag those tools in we also get two context sensitive tabs we have the model builder diagram tab and the model builder tab within here and what about python well as you may know python is the scripting language of arcgis but python version 2 is the scripting language of arcmap while version 3 is the language of arcgis pro consequently for python scripts created in arcmap that you wish to leverage in arcgis pro it's best practice to run the analyze tools for pro tool to identify any changes or updates you may need to make to your script so here we have a very simple script running through a geodatabase listing the feature classes and printing them out that i'm using in arcmap will this work in arcgis pro so we jump to our analysis tab and open the python window and from within here we load the exact same code in and let's run this and see what happens so we get a syntax error so that's telling me we need to update some of this syntax so let's run the analyze tools for pro tool and see what it tells us we need to change or update so let's pop that python script in our dot py script and let's make an output file that we'll call something simple like results and this is going to be a text file that will tell us if there are changes that need to be made what they are and how to make them so we run that tool and we get the warnings at the bottom this message window tells us that it did indeed find python two to three errors and they're in two lines line six and line three and the text will tell us the exact same so dealer's choice which you want to work with but both of them will tell us how to adjust our syntax so that it works now with python 3. so i've been a good gis analyst i've gone ahead made those changes let's load in that new code and when we load that code in you see i have a double backslash now and i have two brackets around the fc we'll run it and it runs as expected so by now we've gotten you familiar with where those individual geoprocessing tools are now located in arcgis pro namely from that analysis tab and then opening the geoprocessing pane you've seen that you can use your models and scripts in arcgis pro either straight out of the box or running them through that analyze tools for pro tool first and updating if needed and you're now on your way to migrating your analysis workflows to arcgis pro but what other goodies geoprocessing goodies await you once you're in arcgis pro well let's take a tour of some of these um and heads up these are highly curated by me these are some of the items i personally find interesting and by no means at all is this the complete set of advanced analysis workflows that you can undertake so i'm just going to draw your attention to these six items starting with raster functions so raster functions are operations that apply processing directly to the pixels of imagery and raster data sets those calculations get applied to the pixels of the original data as it is displayed so only those pixels that are visible get processed and as you pan and zoom the calculations get performed on the fly there's lots of out-of-the-box functions for example functions for radiometric corrections geometric corrections data management visualization analysis here i'm looking at some shaded relief so i can run that through very quickly processes very very quickly i can also edit that particular function maybe i've decided i want to change some of the parameters so i can right click and edit it move it aside here update the azimuth for example and then from within here i can run it again instead of having layer upon layer in my my contents pane and then as i zoom in and out you can see it updates the calculations on the fly so these raster functions can obviously be opened and edited very quickly and we can string them together as well to form what we call raster function chains and to do this we open the raster function editor space and similar to what you would do in model builder you can drag them in from the raster functions pane and you can drag them in from multiple aspects within the raster function pane as well and save it as a template when you're happy with it you can also use raster functions for a lot of different items and you can export those functions to permanent layers if you so wish so we can also look at tools for editing raster functions so we have an edit raster function tool that's good for individual items in a mosaic data set or if you actually have a mosaic data set you can go in find that mosaic data set there it is right click and edit the mosaic dataset functions so we can open that function and again update those functions if needs be all right and again like i said you can make these items permanent if you so wish next up image classification machine learning and machine learning tools have been a core component of spatial analysis in gis for a long time arcgis pro allows you to use statistical or machine learning classification methods to classify your remotely sensed imagery and these deep learning models which is a type of machine learning these can be integrated with arcgis pro for things like object detection object classification and image classification so let's just look at the process of image classification here so there are several deep learning tools and algorithms available in here but there are python dependencies and there's lots of resources to get you up and running with the installation of these and tutorials to walk you through so don't worry about that but here what we're doing is working through the image classification workflow and this particular workflow is leveraging that image classification wizard but if you so wish you can also step through the steps using individual geoprocessing tools for things like the segmentation training sample creation classification itself at the end or we actually have some classification tools in the raster functions area as well and then when you've done something like gone through the process created your segmented image you will eventually then create hopefully a good and usable classified image there's also a handy dandy little item called the pixel editor and that pixel editor tool will also allow you to tidy up some of your classes that may need a little bit of help next up we've got space-time pattern mining so creating a space-time cube allows you to visualize and analyze your spatio-temporal data it allows for time series analysis integrated spatial and temporal analysis and powerful 2d and 3d visualization techniques and we've got a couple of tools that you can use to create these space-time cubes including the creation by aggregating your points we can use defined locations and we can also use multi-dimensional raster layers let's look at one such type of analysis that leverages these space-time cubes and that's emerging hotspot analysis using the emerging hotspot analysis tool and i'm going to look at this in both 2d and 3d so i've got a space-time cube that i've created earlier which is a net cdf and we're looking at pollutants and this is a global analysis here so you can see with the symbology on the left-hand side i've got new hotspots i've got persistent cold spots i've got persistent hot spots and so on so we can look at that in 2d but we can also work in 3d with these spatial cubes as well so i can convert to a local scene so i can look at that 2d layer in a 3d environment or i can actually convert the entire space-time cube to be viewed or visualized in 3d so let's do that we'll jump back to our analysis tab and we'll go find the visualized space-time cube in 3d tool we'll pop the netcdf in there select our variable and we'll run the tool and now we have a nice 3d visualization of that data for us to interrogate further for pattern mining and so on and again you can see we can zoom around we can pan tilt etc but it might be too much especially if you're only dealing with an area of interest to have all that data available at once so i've just extracted out the data for india just for ease of visualization and then we can do things like affect the visualization itself so i'm going to import some symbology that i've selected for an external layer that i'm working with and that particular layer that i've set up outside of here has the hot spots as a darker red color cold spots as a darker blue and everything else stretched in between and now i can easily visualize those persistent hot spots cold spots etc and actually see all the different slices of the puzzle so as i select on each of these cubes when i go in a vertical direction i'm seeing different slices of this cube over time so you can actually start to see why things are a persistent hotspot versus a developing hot spot or a merging hotspot and so on so that's quite useful what else can we do with those space-time cubes well we can look at trends clustering and forecasting as well next up suitability modeling so a suitability model is used to identify the best location to site things or areas to preserve for example you could use a suitability model to determine the best location to build a facility maybe identify potential habitats scope areas to develop public open space the list goes on here i've got three criteria that i'm going to pass through this suitability modeler to determine the best location to cite something maybe a public open space so i have elevation aspect and slope so i can load those layers into my model here either by pulling them from the map or actually browsing to them if i wish once they're in there i can actually start to affect things like how they are to be interpreted within the model so here you can see they're in the model now i want to look at the weighting and the scale all right so i have a scale between one and five set in this particular model where one is bad five is good and everything else in between so i go through and assign the different suitability levels do that for every criteria in my analysis and then they get transformed and combined so again i could play with the weightings on this but i've given everything a complete waiting let's run and when we run we get a suitability map all right with that we can go one step further we can locate maybe a section in those suitable areas that's best suitable and it could be something like it needs to be a certain area right so i have a two kilometer area here that i need to have with those contiguous cells and it has identified these areas but you can see some of those areas fall outside of this municipal boundary maybe i need to switch to some of these internal ones and so on all right what else can we do with this suitability modeler so this interactive environment that we're working in um also allows us to close and open models so you can see here when you create it you get a spatial analyst model file and if i close that entire model i can reopen it and that means i can interactively change update the model as i work through my program i can also do things like view all the different windows so here i've decided to view all four of the maps and what i can do then like we've done previously is actually link these views center and scale and use it for navigating around and interrogating now there are individual geoprocessing tools to carry out the suitability analysis as well but the suitability modeler here as an interactive exploratory environment is very very efficient up next our ready-to-use tools and these ready-to-use tools are arc online geoprocessing services which use arcgis online's hosted data and analysis capabilities these rtu tools include view shed profile i think watershed routing directions and service areas you need to only provide some inputs and all the other data needed for the analysis as well as the computation gets hosted in arcgis online but you'll notice here for the generate service areas you get a little warning this tool consumes arcgis credits don't close these warnings always look at them and follow them so if we scroll down to the area with the ready to use you can see elevation tools don't use credits hydrology doesn't the network analysis ones do so be very cautious of that be mindful of that anytime you're using network analysis be it through the ready-to-use tools or the network analysis workflows or the general network analysis tools so within here we can set all our items in here so i'm going to look at the 10 minute walkability area from say tram lines so we can do it from the network analysis workflow either let's do that just because it's quicker to generate it and in here we have an empty service area model now i need to tell it well where are the point areas that i want to work with this is where we input those facilities which are going to be our tram stops so i'm going to pop those tram spots in here as my input locations load them in they get loaded into the model next up we set the parameters so it's going to be a walking time it's going to be away from the facilities it could be two if we wanted 10 minutes so let's leave that and then we run the model and what we end up with is a polygon that's a 10 minute walking area from those particular areas we can export that polygon to its own feature class and then use that for other aspects of our analysis if it's always shared with people and so on so for example i might want to find maybe which places of interest in this area actually fall within that 10 minutes walking time so quite simple let's pop them in select them let's jump to our places of interest layer have a look at the attribute table and we could do some summary statistics export that information out etc last but not least let's have a look at some intelligence tools so with the intelligence toolbox we have tools that allow us to convert and analyze intelligence data sources you can use these tools as part of intelligence workflows to import data from many different sources at once you can also analyze point track data to determine patterns assess physical environment data and look at suitability modeling or landing zones here i'm going to look at the movement part of the intelligence uh toolbox and use the find code travelers tool and this is going to allow us to find code travelers for cell phone data or mobile phone data that we have and maybe we're interested in a certain person a person of interest and that person we want to figure out if there were other people traveling with that person of interest so here we have identified using the phone information that we have the call information that we have we have information about the time difference between the locations and the spatial difference between the locations so we can actually jump in here now find a particular person of interest if we want so our traveler id so let's just pick the last person here and pick on them um and again we can go in there and find okay so is there anyone that was maybe quite close to these people for a duration of a of a trip for example so we can look at that particular table and see whether there are zero time difference zero distance difference and they might be the people we'd start looking at and seeing if they were traveling together over time so quite a useful toolbox for us to actually identify who the co-traveler then may have been next up i've just got a few of my off the top of my head pro pro tips for migration the first thing i would suggest you do is map your migration make a plan allow for training allow for testing test a key workflow and that will allow you to not only build familiarity with arcgis pro but also identify any bottlenecks and then migrate in stages don't do it all once that's a red at once it's a recipe for disaster and reach out to the team make use of that free migration strategy tragedy consultation and then we have that arcgis our that arcgis hub that we have that migration from arcmap to arcgis pro hub we have lots of links to training blogs and a plethora of resources in there so what are these resources what training where do we go next well when it comes to analysis picking a single training item can be tricky and it's tempting to jump into only the workflows that we're interested in right so here are some aspects to consider when you're starting to plan for some training do i understand the core gis terminology and basic theory am i new to gis basically right have i used a gis before or even arcgis and other arcgis application if so have i undertaken analysis when did i do that when did i last use a gis am i completely new to arcgis pro and simply want to work through the migration from arcmap to arcgis pro or am i already comfortable in arcgis pro and i want to start working with analysis or am i comfortable in arcgis pro have i undertaken some basic analysis and then i want to focus on one particular type of analysis so on this list that i have on the slide there are top three courses that i have here cover analysis in arcgis pro in different ways based on who you are and where you are in your gis journey so that introduction migrating and arcgis pro essential workflows once you're on your feet and up and running with arcgis pro we do have more specialized training courses for example we have a deep dive into general spatial analysis itself with that spatial analysis using arcgis pro course and we have image analysis courses working with lidar courses working with python utility networks arcgis insights and more as for resources we have plenty like i said earlier we have that migrating to arcgis prohub which is amazing tan the team have done an absolutely awesome job with that you can book a consult and talk to the strategy team we also have the ezrea australia technical blog and we have the esri community forum which was previously geonet for other areas of training if you want to have a little bit of a look around we also have the arcgis hub we have the esri academy and we have those esri moocs those massive open online courses outside of that i would just like to say a quick thank you for listening to me speak for half an hour and i am happy enough to hand it back to tar now thanks so much for that mary that was really really interesting and i think that's a fantastic way to put everything that we've learned so far into really good use and now for everyone there's still time to submit your questions and you can do this by adding your question into the go to webinar panel on the right hand side and i can see that a few questions have come in already so i'll go ahead and start with those now the first one is coming from alicia and alicia says do some of the demos use or leverage tools or items that require additional extensions or advanced license levels yes short answer uh so for the raster functions for example um it's actually quite good the way there's a full list of the functions and in that little table i'll give you that list later actually in that table it tells you all the license levels and it actually has any additional extensions that are required but for example that shaded relief item that i used that comes with the basic level which is great all the surface functions use the basic level of the license except for view shed for view shed you need spatial analyst extension all the reclass appearance correction functions they use the basic license and most of the conversion and data management items just require a basic license as well for the imagery stuff for image classification we need image analyst or spatial analyst extensions uh for space time cube creation obviously we need the space time pattern mining toolbox um again that toolbox can be used for all three levels of license which is good again suitability modeler that requires the spatial analyst extension um they're ready to use tools obviously we need arcgis online there and just again that little asterisk for um working with anything network analysis related and then the intelligence tools obviously need um that license for that toolbox and it's a little bit of a mixed bag with the intelligence tools when it comes to the extensions and the licenses so for example some of those items need 3d analyst and spatial analyst and then for others there are just differences between the license levels so for example i use the find co travelers tool that's in that movement tool and set that just requires an advanced license level and no additional extensions so it's a bit of a mixed bag but we'll pop that link into some of the resources all right awesome thank you so much we've had some additional questions come through now david hi david david asks can you schedule model builder to run yes you can um you can indeed yeah so uh again what we might do is we might pop in the how-to on that i'm popping it in my notes as a thing to pop through but yeah model builder to run yes and as a geoprocessing tool is how i would suggest you do that alrighty awesome thank you so much uh next question comes through from abby hi abby now abby asks how reliable are outputs from suitability modeler ooh um that comes down to you as the analysts um and the weightings and so on so that there's a lot of considerations there that's a great question um and i love seeing people thinking about their data right so the modeler is um as we say it's it's smart dumb right or done smart whatever way you want to put it it will run with the settings you put into it so if your data is good right if your resolutions are correct and adequate for the analysis that you are undertaking um if your weightings if your scaling etc all those things if they are correct for the type of analysis that you're undertaking and you're not just doing something willy-nilly like i did for a demo well then you can only be as accurate as that then afterwards if that was me as an analyst looking at that i would undertake then some um error analysis of what i've done so maybe some ground truthing and so on but that's a general part of suitability modeling workflow right so garbage in garbage out i suppose is the best way of putting that yeah awesome well thank you so much for that and i can see that abby has sent through a follow-up question can classifiers help to identify waterways roads etc using near map i think um imagery i'll have to double check on that um i think as far as i know depends on what uh you want to do right if you have a single band image coming in um there's stuff you can do if you have multiband yes there's things you can do with multiband as well i would have to double check i'm pretty sure you can use near map imagery for that because you can use landsat sentinel you name it or if you have your own imagery have at it but yes as a generic thing you can of course use imagery to detect those items again this comes back to and i swear it's not just the fobbing you off it does come back to understanding the imagery you're working with right so if you understand what the bands are in that particular imagery and what the parameters are around the reflectance values for example in those imageries at that imagery that you have well then you can start to model things and that's essentially what classification is as well it's a type of modeling right yeah we have a whole course on that as well by the way and i assume that would be the same for google maps as well any imagery oh well with google maps that would be different because maps as opposed to the imagery um so if you bring in google imagery so like that's the base maps and things that you would have in our in arcgis pro for example um they're streamed services you can't do classification with them so what you need is actual imagery imagery right um again not a fobbing off but imagery you can interact with um so we have lots of ways uh within arcgis pro to actually get you guys working with sentinel and landsat 2. they're available in arcgis pro um we might put a few resources together on that actually um and then there are other ways to pull them down we actually have applications that will allow you to interrogate the landsat imagery and the sentinel imagery for example and pull down scenes that are of interest for you for your analysis um so if you're worried about actually getting imagery and even just starting or testing the process there's lots of places to get free really good quality imagery to get yourself going with these processes um so you're not relying on something like um google maps and things that are streaming in that we can't really interrogate yeah yep i'll definitely add in the arctis online and living atlas are fantastic places to start exactly yeah absolutely and we can access them in arcgis pro now so easy and just pull them in from that portal tab in your um catalog pane so that's pretty cool awesome uh thank you so much for those questions abby now patrick has a question and patrick is asking do i need to keep arcgis pro running if i schedule processes to run um that's a good question don't haul me to this i would think so um don't hold me to that i'll have to double check that because i know there's been updates on that um i would say yes but for the moment um leave it with us i'll go back and have a look at that one patrick awesome uh now just a reminder for everyone a really great question came through from john just asking if we'll be recording these webinars and definitely uh we have recorded and anyone who's registered will receive a link with the recording um and any additional uh information as part of that and please do look out as part of the migrating to arctis pro resources we'll be putting together a page of faqs to include all of the most commonly asked questions as part of our webinar series uh now we do have another question that's come through from kim and kim is asking can we have both arcmap and arcgis pro installed and working on the same machine absolutely um so you even saw in my demos there that was me just you know doing a quick edit check moving between arcmap and arcgis pro right so i have both of them open and installed and working um just be careful if you are using uh layers and things in arcmap and you're actively working with them in arcgis pro and you have them both open on the same on the same machine at the same time for example sometimes you may find that they get locked but that's the power for the course when working with arcmap all right awesome thank you and our last question last question has come through from sarah and sarah's asking is arcgis pro backwards compatible with arcmap projects no um so you saw even with the models that we saved there if you save that you're upgrading it right so things like that you just need to be careful with so if there's something you do want to work with still in arcmap because you're in that migration kind of area right it would be kind of best practice i would think would be to make a copy of it um and then test it that way so you can see that um so the data though can come back yeah okay just not the project itself yeah okay well thank you so much for that mary um that brings us to the end of the q a everyone and thanks to everyone for sending those through those are great questions uh also mary thank you so much for presenting you've provided really good insight into the topic today and it's a pleasure as always to um hear you teaching and speaking um no worries at all um so thank you everyone it's been a pleasure um presenting this series to you you
