remove custom visuals from desktop
Just out of curiosity, I attempted to remove the visuals via the file extension trick. With this, you change the report file extension from .pbix to .zip). Extract the zip file to a folder. Browse to the Report --> Custom Visuals directory and remove the custom visualization that you don't need. Zip the file back up and then rename the extension from .zip to .pbix.
This works to remove the visualization from the options but still gives the custom visualization prompt to enable them.
Yes...I agree with all of these posts. I was very excited to download some new templates, but now I just want to remove them. They are not working as expected, and I keep getting the warning message.
Agreed, there are a lot of bugs that need to be worked out before these can be fully utilized for everyday use. I got trigger happy and downloaded them all on day one and they did not perform like a Microsoft product. We need a fix, hopefully in the next service or monthly update.
On top of basic functionality, this should not have been deployed or be available without warning that is still on beta.
We need a way to manage custom visuals before it can be used in a production environment (i.e.):
1) A library devided by type of chart, publisher, etc.
2) A way to manage visuals in power bi (folders, categories) if the expectation there will be many visuals available
3) Way to add/remove as needed from reports and app
4) How to identify new versions and/or easy way to be alerted when new version of existing visual is available.
