i am new back to GIS

i used to be able select records from an existing database layer to create a new layer - but struggle to see how I do this in my student version - publisher ArcGIS - am I missing something really simple as this is a routine task and should be easy to do

This can be done from the following:

Catalog pane—Right-click a dataset or geodatabase and choose Export.
Contents pane—Right-click a layer, and under Data, choose Export Features or Export table.
Use geoprocessing tools.

Export data—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

That is how I would normally do it but thats the point - I don't have these options

Is this true for all data or just for a specific layer? Perhaps the data is in a database where you do not have the right privileges?
