    Hi remi,

     

    As confirmed by the Product Team, there is a design change(all visuals will group together as a single image on a slide now) on the export to PowerPoint feature recently. And the documentation on this feature will be updated to reflect the design change. :smileyhappy:

Thanks for the update but this is highly inconvenient. It breaks our entire workflow of exporting from PowerBI and creating Powerpoints for distribution. The Slide Template/Formatting Options are very limited/non-existent in powerBI so anyone with a corporate template to be used is stuck. We used to download the slides and apply the organisation powerpoint template (fonts, sizes, background) offline to overcome this but that is now no longer possible.

Is there a reason (other than performance) the Product Team had in mind as I am not sure how one merged image (which can't even be ungrouped) helps any use case for "Export to Powerpoint".

Can you suggest an approach that would let us get the slides into a format that is acceptable/compliant with the strict organization template?
