In ArcGIS/ArcMap Desktop one can right-click in the layer symbology window and choose to modify properties for all or selected symbol classes. In ArcGIS Pro I can't find a similar workflow. What am I missing?

For instance I have a single polygon layer, symbolized with graduated colors. I would like to eliminate the outline from all the symbol classes. I can do this one class at a time, but this is tedious. I can select all symbols in the usual ctrl+click manner, but can't find an option to modify symbols for all selected classes. I fail to find a solution in the documentation.

You can do it from Symbology tab, just click in More to access to Format all symbols:

If you want to format just some symbols, select them (you can use SHIFT or CONTROL to select several items), right click and select Format symbol(s)

Do you mean the symbology for all the features of the feature class/shapefile? The only way I can find to adjust symbology is to just double click on the symbol, leading you into the symbology window. I think there's graduated colors option there.

  • Yes, that's how you would modify an individual symbol. However, I want to change properties for several symbols at once.

  • @tharen I found that you can change color fill simultaneously but couldn't find an option to change the outline properties simultaneously. But honestly, I don't even know how you can go about to change the outlines of multiple features in one sitting in ArcMap. Could you tell me how to do that please? I can change the colors but not the outline. Do you do it in the symbology tab of the properties? Thanks
