PROBLEM
When attempting to edit the symbology of Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files downloaded from ArcGIS Hub in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, the option is not available.
The following image shows the KML layer does not display the option to edit symbology.
This is a known limitation. Refer to ArcGIS Online: KML for more information.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following options:
Download another version of the file in ArcGIS Hub
If the original KML file from ArcGIS Hub is downloaded from ArcGIS Hub, download another available option of the file.
Note: If multiple download options are not available, the owner of the data has turned off the option. Refer to ArcGIS Hub: Enable file geodatabase downloads for more information on how to enable file geodatabase downloads.
Use the KML To Layer tool in ArcGIS Pro
This option uses the KML To Layer tool in ArcGIS Pro to convert the KML file to a geodatabase file and upload the output geodatabase file to My Content for use in ArcGIS Online.
The following image displays symbology is now editable in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.
