Issue with SandDance visual

I'm not sure if something is wrong with the visual or if I'm just missing something entirely. There used to be a slider icon to the left of the setting icon (with the gear) that allowed me to change some important settings but I can't see it now! I checked through every setting option and I simply can't find it. It used to be here:
Capture.JPGI updated the visual and powerbi desktop to the most recent versions. no dice. Can anybody help?

thanks!

Sure,

 

The settings weren't removed. They were simply moved elsewhere.

When you click "view as" there is a new tab in the popup called "shapes". This holds the specific setting that I was looking for.

 

This is true for all of the settings that used to be contained in the slider menu. They have been distributed around and now live in the various other settings menus.

Hi, @Akahn

 

I have downloaded the SandDance (Version 1.2.2  which has just been updated in 10/16/2016)custom visual and tested in my local environment, as you mentioned, the slider icon disappeared. This feature has been removed in latest release of this visual.

 

If you have any other question, please feel free to ask.

 

Thanks,

@v-yulgu-msft I found it! They just moved the settings to a new location.

Glad to hear that you have found the slider icon. Would you please share where it is so that your answer can help some other communities?

Thanks for the response.

Removed? Why?! Is there a place where can I go to edit the settings that were governed by that menu? I have some really useful visuals that are broken without those options.

It seems very odd that a feature like that would be removed.
