    Hi WZorn,

    I haven't personally used this functionality yet to assist in detail, but which version of powerbi-visuals-api is in your visual's package.json?

    These interfaces are added in 3.7.0, so if this is older then you'll need to update this version, e.g. npm i [email protected] or @latest

    Regards,

    Daniel

Well, that's a step in the right direction.  I can see what's happening now.

 

When I run npm i powerbi-visuals-api@latest it installs version 3.8.2, but as soon as I execute pbiviz start, it reverts to 2.6.0.

AH.  The pbiviz.json still had the earlier version of the api referenced.

 

The line:

"apiVersion": "2.6.0"
needed to be changed to:
"apiVersion": "3.8.2",
