In ArcMap, you can click the label button to interactively label a feature.  In ArcPro, is there a way to interactively label one feature, without labeling the entire feature class?

Hi Julie,

In ArcMap, this Label button placed a piece of text in the map annotation group.  

Pro does not support map annotation, so there is no equivalent tool.  You can convert labels to annotation and/or use the editing tools to easily create and edit annotation that lives in annotation feature classes.  You will also soon be able to use the Annotate Selected Features geoprocessing tool when it comes out in the next release.

thanks,

Wendy

Oh, how I've missed graphics and free text... I sure hope this "under consideration" is for real....
