Am I missing something? I personally don't like the idea of edits being saved without me deliberately saving or discarding them. What if I accidentally select 1000 features and hit the delete key when I only intend to delete one feature? As you can see below, I've unchecked "Automatically save edits", but the 'Save' and 'Discard' buttons are disabled, so I can't use them. If I close Pro and reopen it, my edits have persisted even though I never clicked save. As you can see, I've also checked "Show dialog to confirm save/discard edits". In this particular case, I was editing points features in an unversioned feature class stored in a SQL Express "Personal SDE" database.
It's been a while and I can't remember what these settings were 'out of the box'. I think that "automatically save edits" and "Make newly added layers editable by default" so both be disabled when someone starts using pro for the first time. I believe the latter is enabled by default. If so, that is very dangerous. I think every edit session should be very deliberate, especially when editing 'enterprise' data.
Yes, but I am using versioned data and I do not have the option to "Save". Previous to 2.4.2 I have always been able to "Save" my edits, or not "Save" them and start over again.
Unless I am reading what Kory is saying incorrectly.....
Wow! Have you called tech support on that?
No, not yet. Another thing I am noticing is that my edits cannot even be undone. They are not showing up on the 'Undo Stack'.
OK, so it turns out that the layers in our SDE that I was editing were not actually versioned (although I thought they were). So nothing to do with the latest 2.4.2 release.
Sorry for the confusion.
I just upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.8 and this is still an issue...
Agree, this is something that needs to be fixed. I'm not a software engineer by any stretch but...why? Why is it difficult to have this behavior in Pro when it was standard in ArcMap?
