https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/don-t-clear-selection-on-stop-editing/idi-p/922988 <P>I never understood why ArcMap clears selections when you stop editing.&nbsp; You may do a bunch of selections, realize you're editing the wrong data, change editing and then have to redo all of your selections again.&nbsp; Or, what bothers me most often, have a selection of some features while editing, save your map, close ArcMap and it asks if you want to save your map.&nbsp; Even though you just did save.&nbsp; The reason it asks is because the first thing it did when you closed ArcMap was to stop the current edit session.&nbsp; This clears your selection which is a change in your map so it asks to save again, this time without your selections.&nbsp; At the very least there should be an option to not clear selections when editing is stopped.</P> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:51:36 GMT BillyBuerger 2022-04-22T17:51:36Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/don-t-clear-selection-on-stop-editing/idi-p/922988 <P>I never understood why ArcMap clears selections when you stop editing.&nbsp; You may do a bunch of selections, realize you're editing the wrong data, change editing and then have to redo all of your selections again.&nbsp; Or, what bothers me most often, have a selection of some features while editing, save your map, close ArcMap and it asks if you want to save your map.&nbsp; Even though you just did save.&nbsp; The reason it asks is because the first thing it did when you closed ArcMap was to stop the current edit session.&nbsp; This clears your selection which is a change in your map so it asks to save again, this time without your selections.&nbsp; At the very least there should be an option to not clear selections when editing is stopped.</P> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:51:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/don-t-clear-selection-on-stop-editing/idi-p/922988 BillyBuerger 2022-04-22T17:51:36Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/don-t-clear-selection-on-stop-editing/idc-p/1167124#M19407 <P><SPAN>In ArcGIS Pro, Save and Discard Edits do not clear the selection.
