Provide the ability, either through Pro.settingsConfig or the SDK, to hide/disable the Select by Attributes | Pending Edits button panel:

Use Case:

Our application has custom Save Edits and Discard Edit buttons in a Managed Configuration. We need to manage add/delete tables for documents in an Azure Storage Account that have related records in my SDE Geodatabase and need to use a single workspace edit session for editing.

To prevent users from doing the same operations via the OOTB methods but without our custom code, the OOTB buttons are removed from the toolbar. Users of the application need the Select by Attribute functionality, so the open button for that is included in the toolbar. Since the Pending Edits buttons are included in the Select by Attributes pane, that gives users the ability to use the OOTB methods, which causes relational integrity issues in our data model.

Bonus Points:

Why are the Pending Edits buttons even included in the Select by Attributes window? The functionality does not seem very related.

To play a little devil's advocate here, I've definitely made the mistake of calculating a field then targeting it for selection before saving and been very confused as to why the expected records weren't selected. Kinda makes sense to have a "Save your edits to make sure your query is accurate" button.
