Hello bariscihan ,Thanks for your response.

  • Can check on infra details with platfrom team, but I believe we are currently using Pro workspace which is shared F16 instance.
  • The deck is expected for monthly refresh for multiple Products(1 deck/product). 
  • PBI visuals are one of the element on the slide, there are additional commentary and details that end users will update before distribution.
  • Can you share more details on Export API approach? If that help with in-place refreshing or inside fixed ppt template.

    Hi PJ_86,

    Short answer — Export API does not support true in-place refresh inside an existing PPT or Public Snapshot.

    The practical approach today is:
    Refresh dataset → Export report pages → Rebuild PPT (or update a template) → Distribute.

    If preserving commentary is important, using a fixed template and replacing visuals programmatically is usually the most reliable option.

    Hope this helps!
