Thanks @selmaVH1 for taking care of these adjustments.
IMHO, the main point in mentioning the identify features tool in each data provider chapter is to stop patching the "feature information" section with various "if this format, you also have that" and fully highlight specific outputs of each format in a dedicated place. Indeed, depending on whether you query a raster, vector or mesh you won't get the same type of contents for "attributes" and "derived" results, as well as the contextual menu. I am thus missing the vector outputs here i.e. most of the feature information section (and probably the text about contextual menu items). Or did I misunderstand the idea?

It looks confusing to me to have a section about "Identify features" in the middle of the attribute table interface description. That is not part of the attribute table. And not really something you use with the attribute table. It helps query attributes, reason why this chapter looked the most suitable but to me it is quite another type of tool. Can you find a better place in the page, please?

Then we need to provide what type of results is returned for vector layer
Hi @DelazJ, thanks for the review. Your feedback clarifies what needs to be addressed, it seems I misunderstood the idea. |
The identify tool description for vector data.
