AI Narrative Update No Longer Respecting Prompt Instructions

I am writing to report a behavior change we have observed after the latest AI Narrative update in Power BI.

Previously, we were able to reliably control formatting through the prompt. For example, we could instruct the narrative to avoid bold text and to not include footnotes tied to visuals. This was important because we use the AI Narrative output as an executive summary that is printed and shared offline.

After the recent update, the AI Narrative no longer consistently follows these instructions. Even when explicitly stated in the prompt, the narrative now reintroduces formatting we asked to avoid and includes footnotes that reference visuals. When printed, those footnotes are not useful on their own and reduce the clarity of the executive summary.

This change has impacted a workflow that was previously stable and repeatable for executive-facing reporting. We wanted to flag this as either a regression or a change in prompt-handling behavior, and to understand whether there is a supported way to fully suppress footnotes and enforce formatting rules going forward.
