What does the Update tool primarily focus on?

The Update tool in ArcGIS Pro is specifically intended for altering existing feature data, particularly with regard to attributes. Its main function is to update attribute data based on new or revised information derived from another set of features. This capability allows users to enhance, refine, or correct the information associated with spatial features.

The tool is useful when there is a need to incorporate changes in the dataset or correct errors based on current or more accurate data. Instead of performing overlapping analysis, geometric intersections, or joining datasets, the Update tool's focus is squarely on the modification of attribute data. This highlights its role in maintaining the accuracy and relevance of geospatial data within a project.
