ArcGIS Pro not retaining saved edits

deleted-user-6g41xWiDoeRO

I imported shapes from one feature class into another last night. Made a bunch of field calculations and saved my edits/project before locking my computer for the night. When I unlocked my computer this morning, Pro (2.2.4) was closed and after I reopened my project none of the edits in my GDB were saved. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm experiencing the same exact issue. I will lose entire days worth of edits. I save both my edits and project constantly, and yet when I return to opening ArcGIS Pro, I will have entire days worth of edits that seem to no longer exist. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong, or what is happening.

I've been experiencing something similar. I have been switching between ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro editing the same dataset. I have my data stored in a file geodatabase in file folder. 3 times now, data that I have edited with ArcGIS Pro has mysteriously disappeared. I save my edits and I save my ArcGIS Pro project several times throughout my editing process. I close out ArcGIS Pro and shut down my computer every time I leave work for the night. I am now in the process of documenting my edits and taking screen shots so I can make a ticket for this. Most recently what I experienced was not just edits lost but entire feature classes created within a geodatabase disappearing. I'm not sure this is an ArcGIS Pro problem or maybe a problem with my databases getting overwritten with older versions somehow.

That is correct.

deleted-user-6g41xWiDoeRO

Correct.

I'm using the file gdb that was created with the project.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to check your geoprocessing history to see

whether the edits were logged, and if so, to the same feature class you

expected?

Edits are also recorded in the file metadata. You may want to check these

in Catalog view.

So there were no changes/saves in the origin file then? (I have seen many cases where the 'wrong' file ends up being edited after a copy)

You left Pro open when you locked your computer for the night?

What is your datasource (e.g, file gdb, SDE database, other)?

The destination file did not retain the changes after being saved.

DanPatterson_Retired

have you ruled out the possibility that the featureclass changes were made to the correct featureclass.. You indicate a source file and a destination file, one of the two should have retained the changes, I haven't seen an ArcGIS Pro situations where this hasn't been the case
