Ability to Disable option for user to export hidden tabs (PDF & PowerPoint)

Can we please have the ability to REMOVE the option for the user to export hidden tabs. Maybe within a Report's Settings (or even tennant Admin Portal) have a setting for "Allow/disable users to export hidden tabs" The issue i'm facing is that a number of my reports have hidden tabs that contain either tooltips, drill-through pages or WIP pages and I hate the thought that users of my reports can see those pages if they choose to "include hidden pages' in an export to PDF or PowerPoint.

Please include this in the upcoming update! It is frustrated to keep having people come and ask what are those hidden pages for...

The highly undesirable option to export hidden reports to powerpoint (among others) also gives end users the option to display the hidden report IN powerbi.com since it exploids the otherwise fairly unknown reportID. Very very strange. This should be fixed in my opinion.

Amazing ! This definitely prevents us to build neat PDF from report, as tooltip pages are not designed for rendering without a particular context. We alsao have some hidden debug pages, and a version control / tech documentation pages... don't want thousands of end-users to see this !!!

I need the ability to export hidden. I believe this feature and also the feature of subscribing (same concept) should be controlled within PBI desktop, not in service. If a report creator needs to hide the data they can, if they want it exposed they can expose it. This is very frustrating from a UX experience, because report users may have a hidden page that they need a snapshot of on a regular basis. Unhiding the page would be confusing from a design perspective. -- We need the control. Not have the feature decided for us.

Agree with other comments. We have a multi page external customer report, but some pages are used only by the internal account manager to assess end of month sales summaries prior to monthly face to face meetings with the external customer. Also some pages detail the report workings and are only intended for internal staff viewing. Highly undesirable for the external customer to see these so an option to prevent this being exported to PDF would be appreciated.

This is extremely urgent in my opinion! There's no point in having the possibility to hide the pages, if you are "dressed naked" in the export option! I have lots of debug pages, tests, new features under development... there's no point in having end-users seeing this!

Can this be fixed please? Agree with all other comments. We don't want end-users to see work in progress, instructions etc. contained on hidden pages (and end-users are just confused by it as well).

I agree, this feature is important and need to be added as soon as possible. Hidden pages should not be exported.

Absolutely 100% a must have. Should be able to be controlled at the org level, workspace admin, and report creator level.
