Run geoprocessing tools in the foreground instead of the background in ArcGIS Pro

Summary

ArcGIS Pro 3.6 introduces the ability to run geoprocessing tools in the foreground when required. The foreground thread may be faster but blocks interactions with ArcGIS Pro while the tool runs. The geoprocessing thread runs a tool in the background, keeping the interface unblocked. These options are available on the Run Modes button on tools opened in the Geoprocessing pane.

Procedure

Following these steps:

1. Open the Geoprocessing pane.
2. Access the geoprocessing settings/options.
3. Enable the option to Run geoprocessing tools in the foreground.
4. Execute the desired geoprocessing tool.
5. Below is a screenshot illustrating the configuration:

Running a tool in the foreground allows the user to interact directly with the execution process and is beneficial for specific workflows that require immediate completion before continuing with other tasks.
