ArcGIS Pro allows users to access and use a lot of data formats to make maps, perform queries, and so on. But using and accessing is far different from being able to edit. It is important to know the limits of ArcGIS Pro with certain common data formats.
The more you work in GIS, the more data formats you will encounter. Esri's ArcGIS Platform supports many of the most commonly used formats. However, as we said earlier, there is a big difference between being able to view and query data and being able to edit it.
The following table outlines some of the limits ArcGIS Pro has with various data storage formats you are likely to encounter on a regular basis:
