"Edit" document Properties not showing in library web part

Sarah_Morse This is the default behavior of SharePoint document library web part and you cannot change that.

However, as a workaround you can create a link to properties form using JSON formatting in SharePoint.

Example:

 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "a",
  "txtContent": "Edit Properties",
  "attributes": {
    "href": "=@currentWeb + '/Shared Documents/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID=' + [$ID]",
	"target": "_blank"
  }
}

 

where Shared Documents is the name of document library (in library URL). You can add this JSON on any column in your library (or create a new column in library & add the JSON).
