Tools are nearly the same as commands, except they require you to interact with the map canvas after they have been clicked. For example, the Split tool waits for you to select a point on the selected polyline feature, then breaks it into two features.

Commands do not require you to interact with the map; instead, commands often rely on the current state of the map.

The main editor commands reside on the Editor Menu, for example, the Start Editing and Stop Editing commands. The majority of the remaining commands reside on one of the editors context menus; for example, the Delete Vertex and the Finish Sketch commands.
