<p>Hi Anita,</p>
<p>they are very similar, but the API Documentation says to <span dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px">QgsProcessingParameterVectorDestination:</span>
"Note: Consider using the more flexible <a href="https://api.qgis.org/api/3.22/classQgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink.html" title="A feature sink output for processing algorithms." target="_blank">QgsProcessingParameterFeatureSink</a>
wherever possible."
