Why do custom visuals need a network connection?
Hmm, I wonder if it is not that custom visuals necessarily require an Internet connection but that a lot of custom visuals utilize external libraries like JQuery, etc. that are perhaps referenced versus embedded in the code?

Your response appears to be correct.
I intentionally generated this error and looked into the error details that PowerBI provides. The stack trace is below. It's getting external .JS files.
From a users perspective, these files could likely be cached locally so that a network connection isn't needed, although, I'm not sure how often this case occurs.

Thanks!
The fix for it will be available in the October Desktop release. Please check it later in the next version.

Do you have an idea or instructions on how I would go about saving a template like timeline for example locally cached to be able to use the full functionality wihtout having to access the internet?
