After importing an SVG into Ignition and modifying it, I would like to know if I can somehow export it and save it as just an SVG file again.

Is there a way that I can do this?

Unfortunately, it is not really possible to export an imported .svg file - when we bring the file into Ignition, we turn it into various Java objects, and the process cannot be reverted.
