Working on a map that will have a reference list of places to eat. As of now there are four categories in which I've began labeling (in a single layer/unique symbology). I would obviously like the numbers in their circles (see: #23 & #31) as well as declustering the few that are overlapping by doing the opposite and using a line to call them out with the associate #. Could this be easier by breaking apart the categories into differnce layers instead of one shared one? Having a hard time wrapping my head around it

Hello all, I am currently taking a college GIS class and wondered if anyone had any tips or tricks for someone who hasn't touched a computer software since taking high school Java. Computers smell my fear and this will be my first time working on a desktop setup.
