Hello ES community. I've learned on the Kibana documentation that it can load CSV files by this method:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/2/72ff79a55595b2fbe79ed409b4e6c4731911a9d2.png)  
here is the link of this documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/connect-to-elasticsearch.html#upload-data-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/connect-to-elasticsearch.html#upload-data-kibana)  
But I really can't find out how to open this page. Can anyone tell me how to do this?  
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Lan_Lynn,

There is a shortcut on the home page (check the screenshot) which navigates to the file data visualizer of the Machine Learning plugin. You can also reach it by opening a Machine Learning plugin page from the navigation sidebar menu and selecting a Data Visualizer from the top navigation bar.

Regards,  
Dima

Please note that this functionality is in the default distribution of the Elastic stack ([check File import wizard](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions#service-20)), not the OSS distribution, so please make sure you are using that. The only Cloud service that offers this functionality is Elastic’s own, which you can try out [here](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/service).
