Welcome to the latest edition of the Panda Consulting Monthly Newsletter. We hope that this transition will help you become better informed on the Esri GIS software and bring attention to opportunities to learn and advance your skills.

Panda Consulting YouTube Page
We are very happy to announce that we have created a Panda Consulting YouTube page from which you can access and watch all previous videos. The YouTube page offers several advantages, including the ability to watch the recordings without downloading them and the ability to give us feedback through the comments sections for topics that you would like to see in the future or topics that you would like some clarification on.
Panda Consulting Events Calendar
To help keep you informed of the upcoming and past workshops and conferences, we have created an Events Calendar and a Workshop and Events Page with links to all past and scheduled events. The entries include links to put the workshops on your calendar. This will become the main place at which we notify you and others of the workshop schedule. Please be sure to check them out.

Tips and Tricks
Each month we will be providing a short tip or trick to help you make the transition to ArcGIS Pro easier. Please feel free to send us suggestions on things that you would like us to show you.
Turning Layers ON and Off
As in ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro allows you to easily turn layers on and off using the check box next to the layer's name in the Table of Contents. However, in ArcGIS Pro, you can also select the layer that you wish to turn on or off and then click on the spacebar - magically it will turn the layer(s) on or off.
You can also select multiple layers and then ctrl-click the checkbox to achieve the same results. Another way in which Esri is making our lives better and easier.
