When attempting to add a kml from Google Earth into my ArcGIS online data and then into map viewer, I'm running into an issue with the kml. The issue is that there is old symbology locked onto the layer that I now cannot edit off. How could I work around this without running the layer through geoprocessing off of ArcGIS  Pro? I was given this data and my team cannot find a CSV or Google Earth project that contained the map originally.

Editing symbols or styling KMLs is not supported in Map Viewer.  You would need to convert the format to GeoJSON ( can only contain one layer per GeoJSON file) or CSV if you are not planning on publishing a hosted feature layer.

What would be the solution for a multi-layer file?
