I'm still getting used to some of the changes to ArcGIS Pro's model builder - including the planned deprecation of the Feature Class to Feature Class tool in favor of the Export Features tool.

With Feature Class to Feature, it was really easy to define the Output Name for the Feature Class using a Parameter, as the tool had a defined Output Name value that could point to a user-input variable.

Is there a simple way to establish the same? I want to have the user input a string that would then be used as a parameter for the Feature Class name in the Export Features tool.

Thank you
