Annotation automation

[Targetingguru]

I'm looking to streamline and expedite my process and I was considering automating the annotation process, which can help me especially with repetitive situations. So, anyone have any guidance for me about how to automate annotation creation using Python or ModelBuilder in ArcGIS Pro?

What kind of annotations are you trying to automate, label-based, feature-linked, or free text? That'll help determine whether Python scripting or ModelBuilder is the better route for your workflow

Easiest way is to use the convert labels to annotation tool, set it up in ModelBuilder if you want a repeatable workflow, or script it in python with arcpy to loop through layers and batch create annotation.
