[GIS] unable to edit a layer in ArcGIS Pro

arcgis-onlinearcgis-pro

I imported the Railroad_Crossing_TDA layer from ArcGIS Online into ArcGIS Pro (using the Add Data functionality). However, I was unable to edit this layer (for example, couldn't remove columns). I tried the following workarounds, none of which worked:

  1. Duplicate the layer in ArcGIS Online and import the copy into ArcGIS Pro.

  2. Make a blank layer in ArcGIS Pro (using "Create Feature Class"), and copy/paste the contents from Railroad_Crossing_TDA layer into the blank layer ("Paste" button was grayed out).

  3. Export the table to a CSV file ("Export" button was grayed out).

When I click on the pencil icon in in the "Contents" tab, it shows me a red circle with an exclamation mark next to the layer. When I hover over this red circle, it tells me that "this layer type is not editable". When I right-click the layer and go to Properties->Source, the "Data Type" says "Feature Service Feature Class."

Can somebody tell me what what kind of workaround I can use for this layer?

Revision to the post:

From ArcGIS Pro: Right-click on the "railcross" layer. Choose "Data" > "Export Features".
