Hey @mikihiir,

you can create a new project and move your files in the src folder.

After that you need to register that files in tsconfig.

Maybe some Functions are not provided in the new tool.

But you get the errors and you can take a look it is possible to migrate your project.

Nice Regards

Hei

Is it somehow possible to use old api version in this this new tool ?

new api does not have tooltip or drilldown.

and currently there is no other way to make changes  and build packages for older visuals

Hey,

the older dev tool in the browser is outdatet and closed.

All custom visuals are built over the pbiviz tool now.

Here is a link:

Iám not sure the old api is the same like the new one. But they promise us to update the api soon.

I saw the drilldown function in git as merge. Maybe that function is in the next version.

You can do Tooltips over svg with append text. But iam not sure that help you for your old visual.

I think we have a hard time in the moment.

Nice Regards
