Did the chapters and the assignments; less notes because all of this feels pretty intuitive to me, and I try to write notes to help a future me, yknow?
CHAPTER 1:
- A basemap is located in the map section on the top bar and it can be removed in the contents page
- Layers are ordered top to bottom on the contents menu
- You can check all map files, database files, and others in the catalog menu under view
- You can implement data points with addresses and websites on a GIS map
- Scrolling is standard for most things with a scroll but you can use full extent to zoom out fully and previous extent to go back
- Rastors, just like in photoshop, arent pixel based
- Bookmarks save a spot zoomed into a specific amount
- You can change symbols under symbology when you right click an attribute
- 3d exists and is cool

CHAP 2:
- Zoning and Land use is best used in close range
- You can assign multiple symbologies to one thing in the contents tab
- This is how you do graduated colors and symbols
- you can disable duplicate labels using the conflict resolution tab in labelling
- You can turn maps into 3D, extruding them by value
- In symbology options you can import symbologies from different layers
- Dot densities can be editted for how much a dot represents and all that stuff

CHAP 3:
Chapter 3 dealt with making maps for people who don’t know GIS.
- You make new layouts in the insert catagory
- when you add a new map in full extent you have to click drag it out to a desired size and then adjust it some more
- You can make graphs under the “data” category found when you click on a content layer
- Web maps are a lot easier to setup than expected, its just a button press
- You can use storymaps to make websites pretty similarly to how you’d make a website in google sites, if thats still a thing. I think carrd is similar but I’ve never used that
- On webGIS you can make dashboards by going to your account profile and clicking the 9 square icon and finding “dashboards” like in google accounts
- Dashboards also feel familiar. Not sure where from.
