Move 'annotation' section of attributes pane to the annotation tool's Modify Features pane
Right now when modifying annotation, Pro provides a disconnected experience. To do some of the work, you use the Annotation edit tool, but to change some other settings, you have to go to the Attributes pane, which looks a lot like the existing Annotation Modify Features pane anyway and has duplicative controls in slightly different interfaces. It would make a lot more sense if these settings just lived on that Modify Features pane where there is nothing but blank space, it would serve as a true annotation pane with most if not all settings related to annotation -- more of the properties on the Attributes tab of the attributes pane would be nice to have exposed in the annotation interface (such as spacing and placed/unplaced). The tool/pane is likely going to be activated if you're already editing annotation, so why not just put the appropriate settings there? It's not much of an "annotation" tool if most of the settings are not only elsewhere but split between two tabs. I suppose I could see the argument for keeping the annotation settings in the attribute pane, but why not both places, then? It would be more streamlined and a lot less back and forth for the user regardless of their workflow.
Having to always go back and fort between attributes pane and Annotation is time consuming and leave to mistake since in attributes pane Annotation Class ID doesn't update Symbol ID.
Also, create or making modification require to flip between the two panes.
So allow us to make Customization of Annotation pane or add, at least, TiledID and Status directly in annotation pane since it's two main items missing. Something like this.
Yes, the attribute pane should at least remember the tab you had selected. If you click off and back on, it keeps defaulting to the annotation tab which is mildly infuriating.
Putting the annotation tools in the annotation pane would help a lot and be far, far more intuitive.
