In the item page for a layer, where would you find the source of the layer's data?

  1. Credits (Attribution)

  2. Owner

  3. Description

  4. Tags

The correct answer is: Credits (Attribution)

In the item page for a layer within ArcGIS Pro, the source of the layer's data is typically found in the Credits (Attribution) section. This area provides essential information about the origin of the data, including who created it, any licensing information, and supplementary acknowledgments that are required when using the data. Understanding the source is crucial for users to ensure they are using the most accurate and reliable information and to properly attribute the original creators. While the other sections, such as Owner, Description, and Tags, may offer valuable context about the layer, they do not specifically identify the data source. The Owner section lists who manages the layer, the Description provides an overview of its content and purpose, and Tags categorize the data for easier searching, but none of these sections explicitly state where the data came from or provide necessary attribution details as the Credits (Attribution) section does.
