Excess Custom Visualizations

Hi all,

 

We've recently had a set of reports developed within PowerBI, and a lot of experimentation was done during the development of these reports, and as such a lot of different visuals were used.

 

As a result of this, we've now got 10-12 different visuals that aren't used in each report, but are still showing in the visualizations pane when the reports are opened.

 

Is it worth removing these excess visualizations from the reports? Do they slow down the report when using/modifying, or take up significantly more storage?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Kieran Magill

HI @KieranMagill,

 

>>Is it worth removing these excess visualizations from the reports? 

If you remove the imported custom visual, this type of custom visuals will auto remove from your report.

 

>>Do they slow down the report when using/modifying, or take up significantly more storage?

If you add too many custom visuals to your report, it may slow down the performance. If you only import to power bi visual menu, I think you not need to care about this part of resource cost.
