I am wanting to know the best way to update a feature class in my geodatabase. I am in the process of GPSing all of the manholes in our system. I like to do weekly updates to my manhole feature class just to see my progress. As of right now, I am deleting my feature class and creating a new one to do my updates. I am guessing that there is a better way of doing this. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Why not load the new points into the exisiting feature class with the simple data loader?
That should just about do it....

Hi James,

I would recommend using replication.  With replication you can synchronize your edits to your parent SDE feature class.  You can find more information on replication below:
