Hello,

 

I would like to ask how to override a theme in Power BI. Manually changed visuals or other elements weren't updated.

    Currently I don't see an official way in Power BI. You can only go through the visuals manually and reset the values to the default.

     

    Unofficially, you could try using https://pbi.tools/ to extract your reports, then search and replace the manual changes in the text files, and then compile the files back into a Power BI file.

    Hi analitika123 ,

     

    you can find a very good documentation about this in the Microsoft Docs

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-report-themes

     

    If you export the existing theme and import it into this theme generator, you can edit the various settings through the interface.

    Manual changes to visuals have a higher priority than the defaults in the theme and are not overwritten by the theme change.

      So it is impossible to override, no ways to overwrite? So what workaround coud be done? I tried to edit the JSON by adding a visual parameters and after importing theme nothing changed related with visuals etc. So changing JSON can't solve my problem?
