I want to export an image I created in Studio. The following article explains
how this is done:

https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5628123432215-Exporting-Instructions

However, the instructions here do not at all match the software I have downloaded.
According to the instructions, there should be a green button named "Export".
However, in my program there is "SIGN IN", "Add to wanted list"
and "Upload to MyStudio" in the top right.

I am using Studio version 2.23.11 (1)

This is the latest release, not the latest stable. The reason I am not using
the latest stable release is that would not start on my Macbook. I have Sonoma
14.2, so the OS version should not be a problem.

If you want to export just an image of your creation then you just select the
"Render" option - that will render the scene and create an image for
you (in the format and size of your chosen settings). It looks like you're
reading the wrong instructions - that link is for creating a .PDF instruction
file, via the Instructions Maker.

Hi,

First, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

As iprice said, the help page you’re referring to is to export instructions. 
You need to enter Instruction mode first (click the Instruction button in the
centre of the toolbar.)

But as iprice said (again), you surely rather want a render: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5705001957399-Render

Beware, at the moment Studio doesn’t work on Sonoma 14.2: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?t=9874
