I am new to ArcGIS Pro and attempt to start some new project in that platform. I create a project and want to add existing data to it. Somehow when I click "Add Data" under Map ribbon and navigate the folders, only the shapefiles are available for me to add, but not geodatabase features.
In other words, how to add a geodatabase feature that located OUTSIDE of the project gdb? In ArcMap, both features and shapefiles are treated the same but it appears different in ArcGIS Pro. Did I miss some steps? Do I need to connect the project gdb with another gdb in order to get that feature data? Thanks!

Hi Kenneth,
Add the folder connection that the File geodatabase resides in to your Project by right-clicking on Folders in the Catalog window > Add Folder Connection. You should then be able to add data from this File Geodatabase
Thanks. I notice that the feature I intend to add is from a personal Geodatabase. Is that work for ArcGIS Pro?
Unfortunately, Personal Geodatabases are not supported in Pro:
001324: Personal Geodatabases are not supported in 64-bit versions of ArcGIS.—Help | ArcGIS Desktop
You can promote this idea on the Ideas page:
Nevermind I can convert them into File geodatabase, or simply use the shapefile version since I have both. Thanks again to let me aware of that.
