# Error loading SHP as plots in collectearthonline

Asked by plizana on 2024-03-01

In Collect earth online, we already made some projects using shape as plots and csv as samples (1 point sample per plot, or just select "center" to CEO made the samples on the center of each polygon) but now in collect earth online every time we need to upload a zipped shapefile as plots we get the error window that says:

"app.collect.earth says
Error creatingproject:
-Plot shp file failed to load"

And the error occurr also trying to upload the "sample/test" zipped shape downloaded from the CEO... so the problem its that the upload function its not working at all?
