Me and my team do a lot of field mapping and really prefer being able to draw features by mapping on the screen. Also collector classic allows the mapper to delete and redraw a polygon/line without deleting the whole feature and its attributes from the database. However, in the new collector the only way to remove a feature's shape is to delete individual vertices. For features with a significant number of vertices that process is often prohibitive due to time constraints while working in the field. I do enjoy a lot of the new features of collector but editing features was much better in collector classic.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 03 Sep 2020 14:58:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-collector-ideas/add-a-toggle-to-in-collector-switch-data/idc-p/941534#M649 adamwade1 2020-09-03T14:58:12Z
