A common workflow for fixing gaps in a polygon topology is to use the "Create Feature" topology fix, then merge it into an adjacent polygon. Having a "Fill Adjacent" option that does both steps in one click (plus a merge dialog box) is a logical addition that would save time over the course of a lengthy cleanup job.

@DavidSolari This may help. You can quickly fix gaps in a topology with one click by using the Align Edge tool. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/align-topology-edges.htm

With the tool enabled in a map with a topology, hover over the edge to be edited (solid yellow line) and click once.:

That looks like a great tool, thanks Scott! That said, if I have several dozen tiny gaps to clean up, it'd be a bit faster to use something like my proposal from the Error Inspector pane as opposed to jumping to an area and switching tools each time.
