Create and add the ability to export to a KML file using the 'Export to KML' tool.
Currently, the only output option for the tool is KMZ. There are many applications, websites, and tools that require a KML-only upload. The current workaround for us is to open the KMZ in Google Earth and export it to a KML from there. This is confusing, requires additional software, and creates extra steps outside of the ESRI ecosystem.
A checkboox for 'Export to KML' or the option to add KML as a file extension in line with ESRI's other tools would really streamline our processes and reduce complexity for our field users.
Thanks for your consideration.
Yeah it's right, I didn't notice the update about this new functionality. However I tried to export the layer to kml file and it didn't catch the "description" field edited in ArcGIS Pro as a table (using html language).
Here some images how the information is shown in the kml generated by QGIS and ArcGIS Pro.

There shoud be a way in the tool "Layer to KML" that allow the user to define which field use as "name", "description", etc. Actually these options aren't available on "Additional Output Settings".
Thank you.
