Hello community,
I am trying to add multiple reference layers to my ArcGIS display, but it's only allowing me to add one. If I click on an additional reference layer, it replaces the one previously selected.
It seems to be possible, as suggested by ArcGIS here.. but I can't get it to work. Would anyone have any insights?
Thank you for the help,
Denisse

Hi @Anonymous ,
As far as I know, if you are using Demographics reference layer, you can only add one in ArcGIS map; if you want to use more reference layers, you need to search in ArcGIS and select corresponding reference layer for corresponding regions.
Please refer this arcticle: Add multiple reference layers to a map
In addition,attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

I have the same issue with the new update. I used to be able to add multiple reference layers. Now, using the ArcGIS public layers only allows one. Is this a new restriction?
