Exporting in Lightroom for begginers

Hello! Recently I've tried out Lightroom free trial. The one which I selected was Lightroom 1TB plan. When I was editing photos and tried to export them, I could not find a detailed table as I wanted to change the dimensions and file size. I can only change the pixels in my Lightroom. What could be the problem? Is it because I am editing non RAW images? Or because I need to use Lightroom Classic? I tried looking up and it always says that a detailed table should pop up after you click Export. Maybe someone could help me with this issue? Thank you for your time!

The Export dialog has default presets-

Or if you select [Custom Settings] -you can enter dimensions-

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Hello, thank you. That is what I can choose. I wanted to change MB size of my photograph. So if I lower pixels, the dimensions/size changes? I was expecting to change manually the MB size... Doesn't show up with this version. Thank you again!

You can't set a maximum MB size in Lightroom, though you can in Classic. However, "Size" is influenced by the pixel dimensions that you set for the output file, and/or the quality setting that you select. The lower the quality, or the lower the pixel size, the smaller the output file will be.
