Does ESRI plan to support the Parcel Fabric in ArcGIS Pro on initial release? I've downloaded the beta and just noticed that it currently isn't supported. This is unsurprising because, well, it is a beta.
I'd like to prepare to migrate some of my Parcel Fabric power users over to Pro as soon as possible because Parcel Fabric is a resource heavy beast that could be better handled in the newer, more advanced Pro architecture.

Hi Conor
No the parcel fabric wont be supported in the first release of ArcGIS pro. But we definitely do plan to support it in a future release. You can follow the land records meetups for more information upcoming releases of the parcel fabric.

Hi Christine,
Now that ArcGIS Pro is in 1.1 release, have there been any updates as to the roadmap for Parcel Fabric support?
Conor
Hi Conor
ArcGIS Pro 1.1 supports parcel viewing (2D & 3D) but does not support the parcel editing workflows currently present in Esri’s ArcMap parcel editing solution. ArcGIS pro will support parcel editing in future releases but I cannot provide any information on which future release that will be at this stage.
You should continue to use ArcMap to maintain parcel information until parcel fabric editing is supported in ArcGIS Pro.

How about Pro 2.2? is the parcel editor supported?
Hi Jamal
The parcel fabric is planned for release in Pro 2.4.
Below is a Q and A we released in July of this year - hope it is helpful:
What new capabilities will be available for parcels?
“Parcel Manager” is the next generation of Parcel Management for ArcGIS and includes some new and exciting functionality that users have been asking for over the years:
and use groups in Portal for ArcGIS to manage access privileges to parcel data services.
Map technicians will have increased flexibility to work with any of the advanced editing tools in ArcGIS Pro. Edits can be saved at any point in time, performed in 2D or 3D and validated against defined topology rules.
Field workers will have the flexibility to edit and validate data in the field or work in a disconnected mode and sync edits later when connected to the production system.
Focused applications can be developed methods can be utilized that are exposed through services (REST API).
Will all the functionality of the current Parcel Editor in ArcMap be available in the first release in ArcGIS Pro?
No. The first release of Parcel Manager will be focused on common parcel editing workflows.
It will not support control point import and management, Least Squares Adjustment (LSA), associated feature adjustment. There is no longer support for ‘unjoined’ parcels, ‘unclosed’ parcels, ‘constructions’ or job book.
Some of the enhancements include:
Subsequent releases will include relevant missing functionality as well as exciting new requested functionality. For example, Least Square Adjustment is not planned for the first release. However, the release plan for Parcel Manager will be a phased over several releases. The first release will include the majority of workflows provided with Parcel Editor. With each subsequent ArcGIS Pro release, new functionality will be added as well as new innovative functionality. Road map includes support for digital submission, integration to business systems, support for coordinate based cadaster, depiction of parcel lineage, support of multiple least square adjustment engines and more.
When will I be able to maintain my Parcels in ArcGIS Pro?
Esri has be communicating the planned release schedule of ArcGIS Pro through the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap blog post on GeoNet. Currently, Parcel Management is in the Mid-Term category, which means this functionality is planned to be released in the next 2-3 releases of ArcGIS Pro.
The implementation for maintaining parcels in ArcGIS Pro will be called Parcel Manager and will introduce a new parcel fabric that will be both fast and scalable handling millions of parcels with ease. The new parcel fabric lets users create, manage, and share their land records, cadastral data and administrative boundaries. The technology is being designed to support different cadastral systems such as metes and bounds descriptions, areas descriptions, coordinate based descriptions and more. In addition, the new parcel fabric design will support 2D, 3D and 4D.
Parcel Manager will be an integrated part of the ArcGIS platform eventually making parcels available on any device, anytime, anywhere. Field crews will be able to edit and analyze their data in the field. Surveyors will be able to submit their digital submission from their web browser. The technology uses services which may reduce the need to ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) of cadastral data. Enterprise GIS makes it easy to authenticate users and share information securely with those who need it.
Would I need to migrate my parcel fabric for ArcMap again to the new parcel fabric?
Organizations that are using parcel fabrics for ArcMap will not need another data migration. A new geoprocessing tool will be provided for existing users to upgrade the parcel fabric they are currently editing in ArcMap to the new parcel fabric.
Will my current parcel fabric “just work” with Pro?
No. After the upgrade process administrators will likely configure the parcel behavior, maps and workflows before publishing it to the portal.
When will we hear more about the new parcel fabric?
Glimpses into the next generation will be made available as we get close to the first release. The first release will come with full documentation and tasks for the common editing workflows.
How can I keep up to date with information about the next generation of parcel fabric?
There are a few ways to keep up with updates about ArcGIS Pro:
Which Editing tools can be used in ArcGIS Pro?
Users that are already familiar with the improved editing functionality in ArcGIS Pro will not need to learn a new set of tools to edit parcels. Editing parcels in ArcGIS Pro will be done using the same editing tools making it easy and quick to become efficient editing parcels. This will include the improved traverse tool that allows users to more efficiently enter measurements (COGO). The new traverse saves every course as a feature which allows users to save their edits instead of saving to external file and re-importing it later.
Will Parcel Manager support 3D Parcels?
Yes. Parcel manager will support the maintenance, visualization and analysis of 3D parcels. These capabilities can be used to visualize and analyze parcels for valuation and/or for securing land tenure. ArcGIS Pro supports a continuum for 3D as well as rich functionality for 3D editing that continues to grow with subsequent releases.
I'm considering moving to the current technology Parcel Editor in ArcMap, should I wait for Parcel Manager on ArcGIS Pro?
No. But you should take into considerations that:
What types of cadastral surveys / land descriptions types will be supported in the next generation of the parcel fabric?
The next generation of parcel fabrics is designed to work globally. It can scale and support different types of land descriptions and spatial sources. It can support formal and informal land registration systems and “fit to purpose” of any organization that manages land /cadastral records.
What will be the impact of the next generation parcel fabric on Esri’s current industry solutions and related applications?
Esri’s industry solutions such as the ‘Tax parcel editing’ map and the ‘Public Land Survey Editing’ map will be adapted and configured to use the net generation.
