Updating Post Map and Classed Post Map Data Files
A copy of the data file is created and embedded within the post map at the time the post map is created. This means any subsequent changes made to the data file are not reflected in the post map. To incorporate changes made to a data file into its associated post map, the data file must be reassigned to the map.

-
Select the map to be updated.
-
Use the Map Tools | Reload | Map Data command. All map layers on the selected map are reloaded. This can change your map properties (i.e. base map containing an image).
To manually update a post or classed post map:
-
Select the map to be updated.

Click once on the post map or classed post map in the Contents window to select it.
-
In the Properties window, click on the General tab.

button next to Data file. -

The map automatically redraws with the updated data.
