# ArcGIS Pro

## Requirements

* ArcGIS Pro (version 1.1 or later)
* A GeoPackage dataset

{% hint style="info" %}
Certain versions of ArcPro (for example, version 2.5) require GeoPackages to have a spatial index added before the data can be viewed on the map. This can be done in the Catalog by opening the Feature Class Properties window within the 'Indexes' page.
