Can't change slicer shape

Hi I am using the newest version of PBI desktop. While I can't find the Shape and Layout button from Slicer panel so I can't change shape of slicer at all. How can I find it?

    Hi, instead of the classic slicer visual, use the "new slicer visual".

    Hi PBIUser111 ,

     

    According to your statement, your Power BI Desktop Version: 2.140.356.0 64-bit (February 2025).

    I think you currently download the Power BI Desktop from Microsoft Store. 

    As far as I know, this is a beta version from February, not an official version for Jan 2025.
    Here I suggest you to download the offical version from website :Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center.

    Current version should be 2.139.1733.0 publish on 2025/01/25. 

     

    I think you want to use tile slicer, I suggest you to download the latest version and try it.

    If you couldn't find tile slicer, you can turn on button slicer visual in preview feature.

     

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou

    Hi PBIUser111 ,

    Make sure that you're using latest version of power bi going to Help Tab > About:

    Now make sure that you're using a tile slicer:

     

    Your shape and layout should be there:
