The Layout window lets you stylize your map for presentation and publishing. You can design a map layout for print or to export to an image file for distribution.
There are two ways to open a Layout window:
- On the LAYOUT tab, click New Layout.
- On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click New Document, and click Layout from the list. This adds the LAYOUT tab to the ribbon if it is not already present.
You can add Map and Browser windows to your layout, add images and shapes, and create a legend for the map layout. How you stylize the map and browser in your layout does not affect the styles in your open Map and Browser windows.
You can save your map layout to a workspace to work on it in later sessions. Besides printing a layout you can also export it to an image to include within a presentation or for distribution.
