Anyone who has worked in GIS will know that it has its own language. You will hear fellow GIS users using terms such as topology, shapefiles, networks, geodatabase, feature class, and more. As your experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) grows, this new language will become second nature. You will find yourself using those words in conversations without realizing you are doing it. While you may completely understand what you are saying, non-GIS users may not. Consequently, the new ArcGIS Pro ribbon interface will require you to expand your GIS dictionary.
In this section, you will begin to learn many of the new words and terms associated with the ribbon. This will allow you to navigatemore easily within the interface and follow the instructions in the exercises. Understanding this will also help you better communicate with other users and Esri tech support should the need ever arise.
