Once i'm in the imagery comparison tool, i cannot upload kml files.

Right now there is no option to upload files into Imagery Compare https://earthmap.org/compare.html as this is a Google Earth Engine app and this type of feature is not possible to implement.

However, you could upload the KML into your personal Earth Map boundaries (you need to sign-in with a Google/E-mail account) using the icon with the + gin (you can also upload a GeoJSON, or a shapefile with all the corresponding files -shp, shx, dbf...- inside a ZIP) . 

Then you can select the polygon in the map and afterwards you go to the 

**Open AOI with...->Imagery Compare** . This will load the same polygon selected on the Imagery Compare app...
