How to upload a .kml into QGroundControl

I need to know how to upload a .kml file as a map into QGround Control. My client sent me a .kml showing the area of interest that he wants to be surveyed. I need to be able to see what this area is in the QGroundControl software.

Look for Polygon Tools section: https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/releases/stable_v3.3_long.html

This is a step in the right direction, however this tool only allows me to upload a polygon as the mission survey area. I need to be able to see the kml file on the map in QGC to plan the mission. This is a problem because the client sent me hundreds of miles of lines that need to be surveyed. Not a polygon. I need to be able to see these lines in QGC

Unfortunately I think that this functionality is not implemented in current QGC stable release yet. However, developers have already included this option into master branch. You can track this issue here https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/pull/5499.

The feature you are showing converts a mission to kml. Not the other way around.
