Did you turn the Preview features on? File | Options and settings | Options | Preview features. Or are you saying that when you go there you don't see any?

Hi @Sanny,

Which version you test? Download version, store version or optimized for Power BI Report Server version?

I test with download and store versions and works well, I think you are using report server optimized version, right?

If that is a case, that is a specific version which optimized for report server. Due to performance and stable reasons, I think power bi team may remove unstable preview features from original version.
