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.

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.

Hi 

I get the screen shot above when I open existing reports. I get all the page options when I create a new report. thanks

 

Hi, @Joe 

Desktop has recently been updated to the third version 2.99.862.0 in November. Please download the latest version from  Download Center  before testing.
