Learning ArcGIS Pro

The EDIT tab on the ribbon as shown in the following screenshot, is where you go when
you want to begin editing your data. Here, you will find many of your most commonly
used editing tools. The tools on this tab allow you to modify existing features or to help
create new features. This tab not only allows you to edit spatial data but also attributes and
standalone tables as well:
As you can see that the Edit tab contains seven groups: Clipboard, Manage Edits,
Snapping, Features, Selection, Tools, and Elevation. Now we will explore these groups
and some of the tools.
The following screenshot shows some tools in Clipboard:
The Clipboard group contains tools, which will copy or paste to and from your
computer’s clipboard. Using these tools, you can copy features in one layer to another or
cut them from one layer and paste them into another. You can also use these tools to
duplicate features in the same layer.
The following screenshot shows tools present in Manage Edits:
The Manage Edits group helps you control your edits. Here, you can save your edits or
discard them. If you discard edits, ArcGIS Pro will revert all your data back to the way it
was before the last time you saved. This means that it will undo all edits you have
performed since you last saved your edits. Once you save your edits, you cannot discard or
undo them.
ArcGIS Pro does allow you to set up an automatic save under your Project Edit option.
You can choose to automatically save at specific time intervals or after a number of
operations. Setting up an automatic save can help ensure that you don’t lose edits you have
