Per the macOS Human Interface Guidelines:

Use an ellipsis whenever choosing a menu item requires additional input from the user. The ellipsis character (…) means a dialog or separate window will open and prompt the user for additional information or to make a choice.

In the contextual menu below, a number of menu items will trigger "a dialog or separate window", namely, the Export menu items. The … signifier is missed by the new CogTool user who is accustom to this on the Mac.
