New to SOLIDWORKS 2022, Detailing mode was extended to include the ability to create hole tables, insert standard views (top, front, right, etc) from the View Palette and use saved model data while in Detailing mode.

But in order to add or edit the break, crop or detail views the drawing needs to be saved in SOLIDWORKS 2021. In SOLIDWORKS 2021 Detailing mode was extended to include the ability to create and modify break, crop, and detail views, plus add and edit hole callouts, and edit additional characteristics of existing dimensions and annotations. Quick changes like adding dimensions or annotations of existing views no longer needed to wait for excessive load time of large model data, provided the drawing was saved in SOLIDWORKS 2020. When it was introduced, Detailing mode worked so fast because SOLIDWORKS did not load model data so you could quickly make updates to drawings that did not require model data. I mean ridiculously fast, like ludicrous speed fast. First introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2020, Detailing mode is an amazing tool to help users open drawings lightning fast.
