    Hi WZorn,

    I haven't personally used this functionality yet to assist in detail, but which version of powerbi-visuals-api is in your visual's package.json?

    These interfaces are added in 3.7.0, so if this is older then you'll need to update this version, e.g. npm i [email protected] or @latest

    Regards,

    Daniel

    Well, that's a step in the right direction.  I can see what's happening now.

     

    When I run npm i powerbi-visuals-api@latest it installs version 3.8.2, but as soon as I execute pbiviz start, it reverts to 2.6.0.

      AH.  The pbiviz.json still had the earlier version of the api referenced.

       

      The line:

      "apiVersion": "2.6.0"
      needed to be changed to:
      "apiVersion": "3.8.2",
