Move the labels in a manual way

[IvanAlvarez]

Many times we have automaticaly Labels when we activate the Label Features, but sometimes we need to move a label without transform to graphic. I think that will be important that we will have a label tool that let you to move or edit only a layer from features without lose the link with the table from the feature.

Also agree. Another user requested the same and the solutions offered are always to convert to annotations: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/move-the-labels-in-a-manual-way/idi-p/974473/page/2#c...

But I very frequently find that I have 30 odd labels in a view but only one or two not well placed so it would make much better sense to have the function, either in the ribbon or right-click style, to manually move one or two to improve readability or aesthetics, rather than waiting for the annotation tool to work.

This one is a couple years old, but when I went to enter my suggestion,  this popped up.

I agree.  Sometimes there's just one or two problematic labels that you really need to be in a certain spot... rather than having to build a separate SQL query and custom rules for them, or converting all your labels to annotations or graphics, it would be nice if you could just click on the one label and say "OK, for this one, just put it here."

This has been brought up before by others but I'd like to throw my two cents in as the advice that always comes back is "Just turn them into annotations". Fiddling with labels is easily the most time consuming part of my job. It's frankly wild that there isn't a manual mode for this, it seems incredibly basic. I update the attribute tables for my work frequently and so I need them to not be graphic elements. The label weighting system is extremely temperamental. For the regulator I work with they require the labels to not overlap any features as well as not have any label leader lines cross. I'll have wide open swathes of space in my layout and allow a huge maximum offset and for some reason there will always be one label that wants to be on top of a feature. A manual option that still connects the labels to the attribute table would be the single best quality of life change for my workflow.
