In many cases is quite useful to obtain the border length and Area during polygon editing in real time.

I attached a screenshot to illustrate the result.

In ArcMap there was an incredibly useful display in the lower left of the window that showed the area, length, width, and direction of a rectangle while it was being drawn via "Create Features" in the Editor Toolbar. This display no longer exists in ArcPro and we'd like it back. My team creates Derivative products from Lidar and Imagery that often have minimum size thresholds, and this dynamic display was so useful for us while capturing. It allowed on the fly decision making as to whether a feature was large enough to capture. 

It doesn't translate well in a screenshot, but here is what it looks like when I've done the first two clicks to create the rectangle but before the third click to finish it. The display at the bottom tells me I can skip this building as it does not meet my minimum square foot threshold.

That would be so useful!
