There are several ways to navigate a map in ArcGIS for Microsoft 365, such as using the keyboard, mouse, or buttons.
See Navigation tools for more information.
Zoom and pan

Zoom and pan using the mouse
To navigate using the mouse, move the pointer to the center of the map. Use the following list as a guide for navigation actions with the mouse:
- To move or pan the map, click and drag the pointer in any direction.
- To zoom in (increase screen scale) for a specific area on the map, press the Shift key while dragging a rectangle to designate the area of interest. The higher the zoom level, the more details are available.

You can also use the wheel button to zoom in and out. Rotate the wheel up to zoom in and rotate it down to zoom out.
- To zoom out (decrease screen scale) for a specific area on the map, press Shift+Ctrl while dragging a rectangle to designate the area of interest. The lower the zoom level, the fewer details are available.
- To zoom in to the map at the location of the pointer, double-click the point of interest.
