One Click Measure Area for ArcGIS Pro Polygon

 In ArcMap, I had a tool that could click on a polygon and give me the area, in acres.  I experimented with how to replicate this tool in ArcGIS Pro.

The Measure tool works great, but have to click along the vertices and edges of the polygon, which can be time consuming if you have a detailed polygon.  Also tried the 'Summarize within' tool and just doing calculate geometry in the table.

 But the solution that I like best if configuring the pop-ups for the layer you want to measure. 

 Here is the source site: https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/function-reference/geometry_functions/

Here is my workflow:

1. Right click on the layer in contents you want to measure with one click

2. Choose 'Configure Pop-ups'

3. Click on Expressions box, 'New', add expression: Area:($feature, 'acres')

4. Add a title (I chose 'Area in Acres')

5. Click 'OK"

6. Explore tool now has pop-up showing acre total of polygon you clicked on
