Afer selecting new format pane (preview) in Options unable to see the report page settings like page size, wall paper, page background etc in existing reports. If I create a new report I can see all the report settings . Is there something I should be doing ?. thanks !
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Eason,
I downloaded the latest version 2.99.862.0 64 bit (November 2021) and still no luck with existing pbix files. Not sure why it is not working for me. So I have gone back to the old format pane for the time being. The functionality is still in preview. so no worries.
I have same problem with old reports - Visualizations - Format page is empty..
I have the same problem too
After updating with the dec version Version: 2.100.1182.0 64-bit (December 2021) I can now see the page settings. All is well .
Hi, @Joe
Everything seems normal on my side.
Can you show a screenshot of the current format pane layout?
When you enable preview features in Options, it usually requires restaring PowerBI Desktop.
