Saving changes made to shapefile

Changes made to the shapefile can be saved by the following steps:

 

Click on the Modified icon, i.e. the blue star in the GIS Layer Manager box which will always appear when there have been changes made to the geometry and/or database table of the shapefile (colour and rendering edits are not saved as part of the shapefile, but can be saved separately as part of the project).

The Save/Discard Tables dialog box will appear. Click the Save Changes button. If you want to save the shapefile with a new file name, select GIS > Data > Save Layer As then click on the Browse button and specify a new path and file name, followed by Save. Alternatively, right-click on the layer and select Save As>Save Layer As to achieve the same outcome.
