Default to Select Tool after editing selected feature
Most Modify tools use a special kind of select tool that has additional capabilities like filtering for features that work with the specific tool - for example, points aren't selectable with the select tool that is active within the Reshape tool. Read more about it here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/select-features-for-editing.htm
For example, here is where it lives in the Edit Vertices tool:
If that select tool is active, the next selection will activate the Edit Vertices tool on that feature (if it's editable).
When you are done using Edit Vertices, you should deactivate the tool by pressing ESC or hitting the back button within the Modify Features tool. This will deactivate the select tool that resides within the tool and activate the Explore tool, but if you want, you can have it activate the standard Select tool instead. See this option:
Hope this helps,

Hi Scott...I read this and thought all of my dreams have come true...until I went to my Options and see that I do not have that option!?!?!?! Do you by chance know maybe where it moved or how I can switch my setting to default to "select" and not "explore"?
