What's new in 8.3.0 indicate that we could import ova file

I have installed v8.3.5 to test but it doesn't work ("filename: wrong file extension" with name test.ova)

how can I make it work?

Thank you
 
I had to go to DataCenter, Storage, then I selected Local and edited, in the Content option, I enabled the other options, and finished.
Then I went to local(pve) Import and after that it was possible to import an .ova

After that, I double-clicked on the imported .ova and then a VM creation screen opens and you need to make the necessary configurations and just wait after starting the creation.

I hope this helps

Could you provide more info? like the error screen or command you issued with returned info.
 
Could you explain more details? did you means you resolve problem by new installation from ISO file instead use qm disk import command?
Code: 
qm disk import 100 VM-NAME.vmdk local-zfs --format raw
                ^        ^          ^        ^     ^
                |        |          |        |-----|--Specify file format (it based on Target Storage type)
                |        |          |
                |        |          |-----------------Assign target storage for store imported file
