Hello!

I am trying to upload a simple shapefile of village boundaries to my arcgis online account. I uploaded the zipped shapefile, but when I go to upload the file to my content, AGOL does not give me the option to convert the zipped information into a feature layer. So now, I have the files uploaded in "my content", but I am not able to publish or view the layers, and when I go to "add layer" --> "my content" in map viewer, nothing shows up. How can I get these shapefiles that I uploaded to become actual layers that I can add to my map? 

Attached screenshots for reference. The shapefiles are in my content, but right now they are not useable.

(I know I can find public civil boundaries layers searching available layers in ArcGIS Online, but I would like to troubleshoot this issue for future reference and learning.)

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

What type of account are you using?  Not every type of ArcGIS Online account has privileges to create a hosted feature layer.
