Right click on layer, Export / Save Features as .. then select a format (eg 
shapefile),
 save it with another name (and default QGIS will also open it),
 and edit THAT file (s as a shapefile is actually a set of files).

Hope this works for you.

After importing the shapefile, i am unable to select the line and toggle

Re: [Qgis-user] Wrong area count QGIS 3.20+?

[Sebastian Gutwein]

Thanks for the clarification Andrea. Reading the threads and pull requests
is a fascinating look into the muddy waters of really small numbers and
curved areas.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-Developer] Step-up for OGC compliance

Considering that I already take care of the underlying "technical
infrastructure" for the OGC compliance (server admin,
QGIS-Server-CertifSuite,
...), I propose to also take care of the formal request.

What do you think?

It'd be nice :).
