Issue: Edit Button not visible on Salesforce Lightning Page

In Salesforce, the record page offers various options whenever we open a record related to any object. For example, the Delete button to delete that particular record, Sharing button to share the record within groups, users, etc.

In the same fashion, a record page in Salesforce also consists of an Edit button whose main role is to edit the record details. But, recently when I was working on the records of the Opportunity object, I was unable to find or access the Edit button on the Salesforce Lightning Page.
