In ArcGIS Pro, I know that the annotation is now updated automatically. Because of this how do you update the feature class in the geodatabase that the annotation is assigned to?
I agree.
In my case my data resides in Personal Geodatabase. ESRI has decided to drop support. If I convert and upgrade to the ESRI data formats 99% of my work process is lost. This affects all of our annotations! And there is no viable upgrade path moving forward. You may not use access but the concept of yanking support is still the same.
