What element of the ArcGIS Pro user interface displays the contents of the active view?

1. Contents Pane

2. Catalog Pane

3. View

4. Sketch Tool

The correct answer is: Contents Pane

The Contents Pane is the component of the ArcGIS Pro user interface that displays the layers, tables, and groups present in the active view. It allows users to manage and organize their data, providing a hierarchical display of the elements being worked on within the map or scene. Through the Contents Pane, users can easily toggle the visibility of layers, reorder them, and access layer properties, enhancing workflow efficiency. This makes it an essential tool for data visualization and analysis, as users can see at a glance what is included in their current project. While the Catalog Pane provides access to data, models, and tools available in a project or across ArcGIS Pro environments, it does not display the specific contents of the active view. The View itself refers to the graphical area where the map or scene is rendered, and the Sketch Tool is used for drawing and digitizing features rather than for displaying content.
