Editor mode

The Editor Mode allows you to visually navigate and edit your scene in the Unreal Engine Viewport during the editor time. When you click the Play button, the simulation begins.

When the Editor Mode is enabled, ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine loads ArcGIS Map content into the Viewport without playing the level. This mode is useful when you place an object in the level for example.

For more information about the Viewport, see Unreal Engine Documentation: Using Editor Viewports.
