How do i get "access" to shapes within a rectangle selection ?

Hi,

 

  I have a rectangle shape that appears to have 2 buttons inside of it and if I go to View and then Selection, I can see the show and hide option for this rectangle, which I assume means these 2 buttons are grouped.

 

  However, how do I get to these buttons individually, as they have code behind them to navigate to different pages:

Hello

How can you access the individual buttons? I don't know if you're using PBI Desktop in English?

1. ve a ver View> Selection Pane

2. In the Selection Pane panel, look for the name of the group (e.g. Summay, Glossary...)

3. Click on the arrow to the left of the group to expand it

4. Now you will see the individual elements within the group (e.g. Summay, Glossary...)

5. Select the button you want, and you can edit to what you require.

* If you have a complicated group? So what you can do Ungroup.

* Oh just edit what you need without ungrouping, accessing it from "Selection"

I hope it helps you in this.

Luck!
