Way of saving your classification and symbolization choices as a stand-alone file that can be used on other maps
Works for Group layers too
Add Data button just like adding a layer

10. Review… Layer File - holds path, symbology and layer settings
- but no data
Layer Package - holds the layer settings
- plus the data
Map Package
- holds the entire MXD/map information,
- multiple layers, and the data
