To start with, I was attempting to add report page tooltips to my visuals and looking into 'powerbi-visuals-utils-tooltiputils', which was introduced in this tutorial (https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-visuals-utils-tooltiputils/blob/master/docs/api/tooltipservice....). however, in VS Code I got the error that namespace 'powerbi.extensibility' has no exported member 'utils'.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
This is the error I got:
