As Feature Builder is a component of Feature Editing, it is only available for OGC Layers i.e. where the data is held in a PostgreSQL database. The PostgreSQL database can be on either the Local iShare server or a Remote server such as a the iShare SDW. Feature Editing is allowed across all schemas in the PostgreSQL database not just the public schema. Permission is granted via the Layer Roles tab on the Roles node in Studio. In addition, the Map Source in which a Layer resides must be secured with one or more Roles before a Layer is editable - see Applying Roles to Map Sources for more information.

There are two new buttons on the Editing Toolbar in Feature Editing to allow you to Add or Remove a polygon to / from an existing selection.
