Setting Multiple Feature Classes as Selectable in ArcMap

I have 2 feature classes in the same file-based GDB.  (Addr_Points and Addr_Points_Anno) . 

Is there a way to make 2 or more feature classes as selectable (and editable) if they're in the same geodatabase?

I'm thinking I did this in the past, but I can't remember how/where I set that up from.

 

Thanks,

DM

Sure, just click on the List by Selection tab and you can toggle between selectable and not.

Dave,

In ArcPro, but I would assume it would be the same in ArcGis
1. Toggle Selectability: In the Contents pane, click the List By Selection icon. Uncheck/check the boxes to make layers selectable.
2. Toggle Editability: Click the List By Editing icon. Check the boxes for the feature classes you want to edit.
3. Enable Editing: Go to the Edit tab on the ribbon and click Edit (toggle on) in the Manage Edits group.
4. Multi-Edit: Select features from different layers using the Select tool on the Map tab to edit them simultaneously.
