Which tool do we use to create a new file of a layer's data in a different format?

• A. Draw
• B. Export Data
• C. Edit Features
• D. Advanced Editor

Answer: (B)

Exporting data lets you save a copy of a layer’s features in another file format for use in different software. This tool takes the current layer’s geometry and attributes and writes them out to a new dataset in a format you choose (such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, or CSV with attributes). The original layer remains unchanged, while you gain a standalone file that can be shared or opened in other programs. This is exactly what you need when you want to create a new file of the layer’s data in a different format.

In contrast, drawing creates new features on the map, not a separate data export; editing features changes the existing dataset rather than producing a new file; and the advanced editor is for more complex editing or scripting, not exporting data to a new format.
