What is point snapping Arcgis?
Snapping allows you to create features that connect to each other so your edits are more accurate, with fewer errors. When snapping is turned on, your pointer will jump, or snap to, edges, vertices, and other geometric elements when your pointer is near them and within a certain tolerance.

How does the snap tool work in ArcGIS?
Moves points or vertices to coincide exactly with the vertices, edges, or end points of other features. Snapping rules can be specified to control whether the input vertices are snapped to the nearest vertex, edge, or endpoint within a specified distance. This tool modifies the input data.
Where do I find the SNAP point feature?
Use the Near tool to find the snapping locations. In ArcMap, open the Search window and search for the Near tool. Alternatively, from the ArcToolbox pane, click Analysis Tools > Proximity > Near. In the Near tool dialog box, under Input Features, select the point layer.
Where are the snap settings saved in ArcMap?
