Embedded reports - save user customization

I am looking for the following solution:

A PBI report is embedded intoa web application. The user changes some things in the file like layout, filters, and other things and the app saves user's changes. Next time he opens the file he sees the changes. Is something like this possible?

 

Thanks

Hi @Markzolotoy ,

 

Yes, it is possible to embed a Power BI report into a web application and allow users to save their changes to the report. One way to achieve this is by using the Power BI Client API. This API allows you to programmatically interact with Power BI reports and embed them into your web application. You can use the API to create a custom interface for users to interact with the report, and then save their changes to a backend database or other storage mechanism. When the user returns to the report, you can use the API to load their saved changes and apply them to the report.
