Good morning Nora (or afternoon) ,
I'm wondering if you select (draw a polygon using the select tool)
around one or two points you might select 2 or 4 points - you may have
points stacked accidentally.

Hallo Chris,
Hope you are well??
Thanks for the reply.
/Why are you using "Add polygon feature" when your goal appears to be
adding points?/
Sorry, I now realised that I wrote “polygon feature”. I actually use
“Add point feature”
/What is the geometry of your shapefile layer? If you intend to have
points in it, then the geometry should be "point"./
The geometry is Point.

I am counting informal structures in our project areas.
I created a shapefile layer and use the “Toggle editing – Add
polygon feature” function to add a point. Every structure gets a dot.
Why are you using "Add polygon feature" when your goal appears to be
adding points?
What is the geometry of your shapefile layer? If you intend to have
points in it, then the geometry should be "point".

I hope this email finds you in the mountains, and as sun peeps through the
