    Hi!

     

    1. Opened the Layout file in Notepad++

    2. Saved the file in other location as .txt

    3. Made changes in Layout file

    4. Saved my changes and closed the Layout.txt file

    5. Removed the extension .txt from the file in the File Explorer.

    6. Copied the file and pasted it in the Report folder in the report zip file

    7. Changed the extension of the report file from .zip to .pbix

     

    Regards

Hello FredrikJ !

 

First of all, thank you for your reply. I have tried what you said, however it seems that I am not able to save the changes I made in the Layout file when I open it without decompressing the whole folder. I can't overwrite the file while i was able to dot it when the whole folder was decrompressed. 

 

How did you do it exactly ?

 

Best regards,

Melvin
