I am using GIS to map Well Locations, Karst Features and other features that are specific to the Agricultural Industry. These layers update periodically with new construction and as new features are identified. I have to place buffers on the locations and am wondering if there is a way to have the Buffers automatically update as the Features are added?

To create the buffers, I am using the Geoprocessing Buffer Tool.

Currently using ArcMap 10.8.2

Any suggestions, tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

In ArcGIS Pro you can create a Group Template, which is a special kind of feature template for editing, that can be set up to create multiple features at once, including a buffer polygons around a point.
