In the standard editior you have to find and then trace buildings by hand, which can can tedious and very time consuming. That's what I was doing before someone told me about Rapid.
Rapid will highlight buildings that have yet to be mapped, and then you either approve or decline each one. Very few are perfect, so I do manually adjust the trace that Rapid provides, and sometimes it's just plain off. Still much faster. The only issue it has is with new developments that aren't on their map to be identified. Those I do nearly always by hand.
I've only used Rapid for buildings and not their other features.
