Which option would be the best choice to view all the features of a specific layer on your map?

  1. In the Contents pane, double-click the layer.

  2. Use your mouse wheel to scroll in or out until all the features are visible.

  3. In the Contents pane, right-click the layer and choose Zoom To Layer.

It is especially beneficial for layers containing numerous or widely dispersed features, as it instantly frames the view to include every detail, maximizing your efficiency in working with the spatial data.
