Is there a way to find the extent of a shape file in ArcGIS Pro?

Question

This used to be so easy in ArcMap: Properties -> Source, and you could easily see the extent of the shapefile along with units. This was especially useful because it could be used to determine what sort of coordinate system you were working with.

I'm developing a lesson based around this principle, and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to see the extent of a shapefile in ArcGIS Pro.

Dan,

I looked there and the extent tab was missing. It was then that I realized I was running version 2.4. When I updated to 2.6, the Extent Tab was there. Thank you!

right-click, properties, a little scroll to Source, then extent

At least for shapefiles... you may want to use featureclasses in a geodatabase working with Pro
