When using the Export Features tool from right-clicking an item in ArcGIS Pro, the tool runs in the foreground and stops interactions with ArcGIS Pro until the tool is completed.

Additional Information

This behavior is expected, exports can run even if longer running processes are running in the background thread. Geoprocessing threading behaviors are documented here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/geoprocessing/basics/run-geoprocessing-tools.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_2BE2CAE26E3245C280FA5495380196BE The workaround is to run any geoprocessing tool in the geoprocessing pane, where it will run in the background thread so the rest of the application can remain active and able to perform other tasks.

Workaround

Run the Export Features tool in the geoprocessing pane.
