Process route edits
You can use the Process Edits tool 
to run common post route editing tools. This tool updates events, intersections, or routes impacted by LRS route edits and supports undo and redo operations using the tools in ArcGIS Pro. You can run this tool inside or outside an edit session.
If conflict prevention is enabled, existing locks on the intersecting routes will be bypassed when the Generate intersections even if there are conflict prevention locks option is checked in the Location Referencing options.
Caution:
Bypassing conflict prevention locks may result in data corruption or unexpected behavior. Consider the potential consequences and create a database backup before running this tool with the Generate intersections even if there are conflict prevention locks option checked.
For a line network configured with a derived network, the Process Edits tool runs the following tools in the order listed:
Generate Intersections—Creates or updates intersections based on edited routes.
Note:
You can enable or disable this tool in the Location Referencing options.
Apply Event Behaviors—Applies event behaviors to edited routes.
Generate Routes—Generates the derived network based on edited routes.
Derive Event Measures—Updates the derived event measures on events whose parent route or routes have been edited.
For a nonline network or a line network configured without a derived network, the Process Edits tool runs the following tools in the order listed:
Generate Intersections—Creates or updates intersections based on edited routes.
Note:
You can enable or disable this tool in the Location Referencing options.
Apply Event Behaviors—Applies event behaviors to edited routes.
Edits processed on a line network
When using the Process Edits tool on a line network, it runs the Generate Intersections, Apply Event Behaviors, Generate Routes, and Derive Event Measures tools sequentially on all routes in LRS Networks that have unprocessed edits.
Before route edit
In the following scenario, the last route on a line is about to be retired. There is a spanning line event, point event, and intersection along the line. The two event layers are both configured with the Stay Put event behavior for route retirement operations.
The following diagram shows the state of the LRS data before the route retirement:

After processing edits
The Process Edits tool completes the LRS workflow by running the tools sequentially to make the following updates to the edited route:
Updates intersections.
Applies event behaviors.
Generates routes, including the derived network.
Updates derived event measures.

Edits processed on a nonline network
When using the Process Edits tool on a nonline network, only the Generate Intersections and Apply Event Behaviors geoprocessing tools are run sequentially on all routes in LRS Networks that have unprocessed edits.
Note:
The Generate Routes and Derive Event Measures tools are not run because a nonline network cannot have a configured derived network.
Before route edit
In the following scenario, the second half of Route1 is about to be retired. There is a line event, point event, and intersection along the route. The two event layers are both configured with Stay Put event behavior for route retirement operations.

Process edits
To run the post route editing tools after you finish a route edit, such as realigning or extending routes, complete the following steps:
On the Location Referencing tab, in the Tools group, click Process Edits
.A dialog box appears that shows the progress of the tools. If you're not in an edit session, the tool starts one so that you can undo or redo resulting changes from this process.
Once the tools finish processing, click OK.
If one of the tools in the process fails, the Process Edits tool reverts all previous steps. You can fix the issues and run the Process Edits tool
again.
