    Elite does currently allow KML import, but if you are attempting to import it as a component type that is not included in your plan it might not like it. Can you share more details or post a screenshot?

    Its a KMZ... according to your earlier post you should be able to do this with an elite plan. Please clarify and include instructions as to how i do upload a KMZ with my elite plan as per your earlier post.

    Again, it isn’t preventing you from importing. If you select one of the other component types that is included in your plan (how to see which features are in your plan), then it will let it through. In this case you are selecting Inspection, which is a Growth only component type (compare plans).

    Yep, they are the exact instructions i followed. I got the error message shown above. I can NOT import KMZ files this way. Is my elite subscription defective?

    If you share your KMZ file we can check if there is something specific with it preventing the import.

    but it isn't the KMZ file, it simply states (as per screenshot above) that i have to upgrade to upload a KMZ...

    The system was incorrectly identifying the file as an Arcsec Trinity CSV file, which can only be imported as an Inspection component type. After correcting that issue (locally for testing), we came to find out that the underlying KML is using NetworkLink and Region tags, which is not currently supported by the importer. If you want to use the importer right now, you need to only use Polygon or Path:
