New Preview Feature - Personalize Visuals After Enable not under Report Settings to Turn On

We have enabled personalize visuals under Options/Preview Features in BI Desktop

 

When we log into current File/Report Settings there is no Personalize visuals subtab to 'turn on'.

 

I have shut down and rebooted and it is still not there.

 

Any help that you can supply would be greatly appreciated.

 

If we could paste screenshots into the body of these messages, it would be much easier as a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Thank you.

Hi @Polygon 

 

I can't repro your issue, please make sure you're using the latest release of the desktop.

 

 

Please note that After you turn on the preview switch, you will need to specifically enable it for the reports that you want end-users to be able to personalize visuals for.
If you want to enable the feature from Power BI Desktop, you will need to go to File > Options and Settings > Options > Report settings for the current file and make sure Personalize visuals (preview) is turned on.

When you enable this setting for a given report, all visuals in that report will have this experience on by default. If you want to customize which visuals have this experience, you can toggle on/off this setting per visual in the visual header section of the formatting pane:

Hi, I also have the same issue, and did not find a solution yet. I do not have an option in settings to enable the feature, although, I also have the latest vertion of the application.

Hi, 

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem because I don't have this option to turn on the Personalize feature on my PBI Desktop and I have the latest version.

 

Thanks you,
