5. Right-click the new data frame in the table of contents and choose Properties.

   The Data Frame Properties dialog box appears.
6. Click the General tab and rename the new data frame with an appropriate name .

   For example, "Overview Diagram".

7. Click OK.
8. Use the Add Data button to add layers or copy and paste feature layers from the basemap data frame in the table of contents to the overview diagram data frame.
9. Right-click any copied feature layers for the overview diagram data frame in the table of contents and click Properties to open the Layer Properties dialog box.
10. Symbolize, label, and set the data frame and layer properties.
11. Click OK.
