Downloads

  • Under the Format paintbrush there are only a few configurations that can be adjusted because the primary place to edit the visual is on the visual itself.
  • Under the Story section you can turn on/off Auto Load, which controls whether or not the visual is automatically loaded when you open an existing Power BI file that includes the visual.

  • By modifying the Display section you can increase or decrease size of the editor within the visual.
