I want to lock the sankey nodes in the attahced figure so that the visitor should not be able to move the nodes accidently on the sharepoint page. Is there a solution to do so?
I did lock figure but it locks sankey diagram as a whole not the nodes of it. The user is still able to move the nodes on sharepoint when uploaded as a PowerBI report. If there is a solution, do let me know.

Hi,123abc ,thanks for your concern about this issue.
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hello,@awardhan98 .I am glad to help you.
This is my test:
After my testing, there seems to be no direct way to disable the user from moving the nodes in the graph (this is an interactive behavior)
Maybe you could try setting the visual that you don't want the user to move to a static image (which would result in a loss of interactivity)
Understanding your concern, you can set up the following functionality in for reports:
When each user views a report, the report's presentation state is always maintained as the report's published state, and user-made changes such as node moves are cleared. The default state of the report is the same for all users opening the report.
Tick "Don't allow end user to save filters on this file in the Power Bi service.
Solved: clear filters when you return to BI page - Microsoft Fabric Community
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

this solution is for fixing the sequence of nodes. My concern is regarding the movement of the node. If this sankey diagram is displayed on a website or sharepoint page and if viewer hovers over this sankey diagram, he/she will see detaisl of it. But there is a catch. The viewer can also move the node of the sankey diagram currently which I dont want to happen. Otherwise it can disturb look of the sankey chart on the sharepoint page. This wont happen intentionally but can happen accidently while the viewer take a look upon it.
I hope now my query is bit clear now.
