Which format must be adhered to when exporting data from a browse tool?

The correct choice aligns with the flexibility offered in the output settings of the browse tool in Alteryx. When exporting data, users are able to specify a variety of formats based on their requirements and what is supported within the tool. This means that rather than being limited to a specific format like CSV, XLS, or JSON, users can select any appropriate format that matches their workflow needs and the limitations imposed by the output settings.

This flexibility is important because different use cases may necessitate different file formats for downstream processing, importing into other systems, or sharing with other stakeholders who might expect data in a certain format. Choosing the correct format is critical for ensuring compatibility and usability of the exported data.

In contrast, the other options incorrectly suggest that the data can only be exported in a single format, which does not reflect the capabilities of the browse tool within Alteryx. Therefore, the option that states any format specified in output settings is the most accurate reflection of the tool's functionality.
