topic Differences between polygons of the same feature in Spatial Data Science Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/differences-between-polygons-of-the-same-feature/m-p/472357#M1059 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, this is a question involving quality control.</P><P><BR />I have two people separately digitizing land features within the same area. After they are done, I need to take their created polygons and highlight the differences between them. Then we will go through an iterative process to resolve the differences into a final product. </P><P></P><P>My question is: what function in ArcMap will display/calculate/whatever the differences between polygons? I understand that I would need to copy &amp; paste one set onto another, but then what?</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Apr 2016 22:20:42 GMT MalcolmLittle 2016-04-15T22:20:42Z Differences between polygons of the same feature https://community.esri.com/t5/spatial-data-science-questions/differences-between-polygons-of-the-same-feature/m-p/472357#M1059 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, this is a question involving quality control.</P><P><BR />I have two people separately digitizing land features within the same area.
