    OldBoysmckie Make sure you are on the latest Desktop version, and you need to enable the features as they are in preview...

    File -> Options and Settings -> Options -> Preview Features

    The link you provided outlines this, have you enabled the feature, restarted and you still don't see it?

Thanks Matt, yes I see the 4 items in the ribbon ie Home, Modeling, Format and Drill when I open a visual.

 

The issue I'm having is that in the https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-september-feature-summary/ I'm trying to get the mobile report layout going.  In Kim's example she has 4 tabs on the ribbon ie file, home, view and modeling.  It is the file tab that I need to get into the "change layout" area.  I only have Home and Modeling, not File and View?

 

Any thoughts?

I'm having the same issue....downloaded this tool specifically for phone visualization...and the directions provided do not coincide with the abilities i have to change the page layout (no crafty way to drag visuals onto the smartphone looking screen per the instructions).   Did you get this resolved?
