What Is Geoprocessing - ArcGIS Pro - Documentation

Geoprocessing is a framework and set of tools in ArcGIS Pro used to automate GIS tasks and perform spatial analysis. It allows users to find, run, and create geoprocessing tools to complete repetitive jobs like buffering or build custom tools. Geoprocessing supports controlling the processing environment, viewing tool histories, batch processing, and leveraging tools on ArcGIS portals.

What is geoprocessing?
ArcGIS Pro 2.9
Geoprocessing is a framework and set of tools for processing geographic and related data. The comprehensive suite of geoprocessing tools can be used to
perform spatial analysis or manage GIS data in an automated way. Geoprocessing is for everyone that uses ArcGIS Pro. Whether you are a new or advanced
user, geoprocessing will likely be an essential part of your day-to-day work.

Geoprocessing is used to automate GIS tasks and for modeling and analysis

A typical geoprocessing tool performs an operation on a dataset such as a feature class, raster, or table, and creates a resulting output dataset. For example,
the Buffer tool takes features as input, creates buffer areas around the features to a specified distance, and writes those buffer areas to a new output dataset.

In addition to the suite of tools, geoprocessing is also a powerful framework that supports control of the processing environment and allows you to build
custom tools that can further automate your work. You can use the geoprocessing tools included in ArcGIS Pro as building blocks to create an infinite number
of custom tools that automate repetitive tasks or solve complex problems.

In ArcGIS Pro you can do the following:

Find the geoprocessing tool that is right for the job by searching or browsing a list of tools.
Run the geoprocessing tool after specifying parameter settings and other options.
View the geoprocessing history of your project.
Create and use custom geoprocessing tools which help you automate your work.
Use batch geoprocessing to make repetitive tasks easy to complete by running a tool multiple times.
Save sets of geoprocessing tools that are important to your project.
Leverage the power of the ArcGIS platform by running analytic tools available through your portal.
