Insert Cursor Documentation Question

Question

The API reference guide states, "When used in an ArcGIS Pro add-in, insert cursors should be used within an edit operation callback. For stand-alone CoreHost applications, insert cursor usage should be enclosed within a call to Geodatabase.ApplyEdits." My question is, what is the reasoning behind this? What would happen if Geodatabase.ApplyEdits was used within an add-in?

This really has nothing to do with Insert Cursors.

All editing inside an ArcGIS Pro add-in should use edit operations, either directly or with an edit operation callback.  If you use Geodatabase.ApplyEdits, the map is not refreshed and the operation stack (undo/redo) is unaware of your edits.

I hope this helps.
