I'm working with ArcGIS and the following image is showing the polygons that I have in my shapefile. The seleted polygon should actually be this selected one + the blank area right below it.
This blank area has no attribute related to it. I mean, it isn't a polygon. It is just a hole in my shapefile.
Eventually, how do I use this shape to be part of my selected polygon?
I forgot to mention, but I have many holes like this in my shapefile. I'm wondering if there is a faster way of filling these holes than digitizing all those individual polygons!

Depend what means 'many holes', but if it's not hundreds/thousands you can always use Auto Complete polygon tool. All you have to do is start edit session, select the tool, draw the line across a hole and merge created polygons to required polygon. It is better than digitising and Trace but still semi manual…
see screenshots:
Select Auto complete tool and Draw a line across the hole
Double click to finish
Select polygon you want to merge newly created polygons
and use Merge tool (under edit toolbar)
