What visualization am I using?
Is there a way to know what visualization is being used for a specific viz in my report? Suppose I am opening up someone else's report and see a viz I like. How do I know what the viz is? It seems like it highlights the viz from the Visualizations selection pane with a box around it, but in my case there is nothing highlighted. I can deploy the report to my server and it works, but how it is working is not my question (at the moment). How do I find out the name of the visualization that created what I can see on the report? Is there a properties or About or any text I can search within the PBIX file (after I extract it)?
Thanks,
Mike

mglasser , I am not sure I got it. But personalize visual on April 2020 can help in power bi service
That is a nice new feature, and a bit scary for my users to use that, but that does not help to tell me what visualization was used for a specific viz on an existing report. Thanks.
Here is a screenshot of the viz when it is selected. I see no custom visualizations as shown in your picture, nor do I see any delivered viz highlighted. Maybe someone recognizes the options in the Fields well, particularly the "color saturation" option. It would be nice to know this viz, but my question is more general for identifying any visualization that I see in a PBI file.
It looks peculiar. I mean I haven't seen this before.
mglasser did you ever find out what this visual was?
I am in the exact same boat with the exact same visual! Only mine is showing the UK, the look and all the options, including color stauration, are the same.
