Hi
I used to be able to access to the Visualisation Pane > and the 3 icons (e.g. format visual) but I am not able to see it now.
This is what I think I am missing
The following image is from my PBI Desktop. I can't seem to find the visualisation pane.
This is my PBI Desktop
FYI: I am running Power BI Desktop on Windows 11 and it is running on Parallel Desktop on my MacBook Pro 14 (Apple M1 chip).
Thanks for helping.
Regards,
James
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jameshoty
The 3 icons icon visualization pane has been updated in the newer version. The new Format pane and on-object interaction with visuals is the default experience in Power BI Desktop after updates. This means the Visualizations pane has been redesigned and its functionality has been moved to on-object menus and the Format pane.
To revert to the old visualization follow this earlier solution:

Hope this helps!!
