Symbology transforms raw spatial data into meaningful visual information.
In ArcGIS Pro, the right symbols, colors, and patterns can dramatically
improve how your audience interprets and understands your maps. Whether
you’re creating simple reference maps or complex analytical visualizations,
symbology is the visual language that communicates your spatial story.

While ArcGIS Pro includes an impressive collection of built-in symbols,
many GIS professionals need specialized symbology for industry-specific
applications, organizational branding, or particular visualization
requirements.

Fortunately, ArcGIS Pro allows you to easily expand your symbology options
by importing external style files.

This guide will walk you through:

   - Understanding symbology fundamentals in ArcGIS Pro
   - Working with style files (.stylx)
   - Adding both Esri-provided and external style files to your projects
   - Applying custom symbols to your map layers
