Modify features

The Modify Features pane contains tools to edit features interactively using the pointer.

You can filter and search for tools by typing a text string that matches a text string contained in the tool name or functional group. A notification appears when an editing tool is actively filtering a selection. To restore the selection to its unfiltered state, deactivate the current tool by pressing the Esc key or clicking the back button in the Modify Features pane.

If you change an editing tool while sketching required geometry—for example, when reshaping a feature—you are prompted to apply or discard the unfinished sketch.

For a basic workflow to create and modify features, see Create features.
