Hide new buttons for switching between desktop and mobile layout view:

[Eric7]

Hi, I see that these two buttons have appeared in the lower left corner in Power BI Desktop for switching between desktop and mobile layout view:

Anyway I can hide them? They are taking up valuable space.

Still waiting for this option 1 year later

This is the worst UI solution I've seen so far. :< Hate it really. Happened to me few times - click on mobile layout (misslick) for quite heavy dashboard and it crashed PBI.

Please, give us option to hide this new mobile layout panel. Thanks a lot!

I know, but of course I want to use the latest version, so I can only hope that a hide option will come in a later version!

Hi , @Eric7 

I also download the new version Desktop and it seems there is no option to hide the Mobile layout.

You can post this idea to Fabric Idea website to optimise this produnction:

Hi , @Eric7 

According to your descrription, you do not want to show the mobile layout in Power BI Desktop.

As this is the new feature in the 2023 Augest version and this is opened by design , you can refer to the "Power BI August 2023 Feature Summary".

Power BI August 2023 Feature Summary | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

For your need , you can try to download the previous version Desktop .
