The Handle sub-object level in Editable Patch provides direct access to vertex handles, or vectors, without going through the Vertex sub-object level. Handles are still accessible at the Vertex sub-object level, but the Handle level provides enhanced functionality as follows:

The ability to select multiple handles for transformation and application of operations such as Patch Smooth to them.
Usage of the transform gizmo when manipulating handles.
Elimination of the possibility of inadvertently transforming vertices.
Support for named selection sets of handles.
Copying and pasting handles.
Use the Align tool for aligning handles.
