Learning ArcGIS Pro

Extensions for ArcGIS Pro
Esri also has several extensions for ArcGIS Pro. These are included when you purchase
the associated ArcGIS for Desktop extension. Extensions are add-ons for the core ArcGIS
Pro product that provide extended functionality to all licensing levels. Each extension has
a focused area of increased functionality that includes additional geoprocessing tools.
There are currently six different extensions that have been developed for ArcGIS Pro.
Eventually, all the extensions that have been developed for ArcGIS for Desktop will also
be ported to ArcGIS Pro. The current ArcGIS Pro extensions include:
Spatial Analyst
3D Analyst
Network Analyst
Geostatistical Analyst
Data Reviewer
Workflow Manager
The name of each extension helps to identify its purpose. To use these extensions, not only
do you need to have purchased them but a license must also be assigned to the user in
ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. We will take a quick look at the first three
extensions, which are the most commonly used.
Spatial Analyst
The Spatial Analyst extension is primarily used to perform spatial analysis using rasterbased
data, though it does have some vector analysis capability. Operations you perform
with the Spatial Analyst extension include: terrain analysis with a digital elevation model
(DEM), calculate slopes, determine watersheds, perform hydrological analysis, classify
images, and more.
