Editing in ArcPro basic tutorial

Editor or it is called "editing" officially in Esri's Arc.GIS Pro is a set of tools to change some settings on maps. Topology and snapping are the most common two.   


From Esri’s website, they explain what you can do with Editor settings. (1) 

  1. Create or modify 2D and 3D features.
  2. Create or modify annotation features, font type, style, and size of text.
  3. Edit feature attributes and related records and add or remove file attachments. 
  4. Create 3D features from scratch or import 3D models. 
  5. Extrude 2D features or symbolize them as 3D features. 
  6. Reposition and transform features including read-only datasets such as CAD drawings.
  7. Reshape, replace, or edit feature geometry while preserving existing attributes.
