A layout has two parts: project layout and portal layout. The project layout is stored in your local ArcGIS Pro's database and can be seen in Catalog view > Project. The project layout defines, at a minimum, the print size along with a Main Map Frame. It can contain other details as well, such as text and function fields, a logo, and a scale bar. At least one project layout must be defined before a portal layout can be created.

2.Choose a page size from the popup window.
A new tab opens called Layout. Any successive layouts will be named Layout1, Layout2, etc.

4.Click the Main Map icon in the popup window.
This changes the cursor to a cross. Use the cursor to draw a Main Map Frame.
