Allow Report Page (Canvas) to Open in a Separate Window

Currently, Power BI Desktop keeps the report canvas, ribbon, and side panes locked in a single window. For users working with multiple monitors or doing detailed design work, this layout limits flexibility and screen space.

Proposed Feature: Enable the report page (canvas) to be detached into its own window, independent of the ribbon and side panes. This would allow:

  • Full‑screen editing on one monitor while keeping fields, visualisations, and filters on another.
  • Easier design for complex dashboards without constant pane toggling.
  • Improved productivity for users who need to present and edit simultaneously.

Benefits:

  • Better multi‑monitor experience.
  • Faster layout adjustments and visual alignment.
  • More efficient workspace for advanced modelling and report building.

Optional Enhancements:

  • Ability to dock/undock panes (Visualisations, Filters, Fields) as floating windows.
  • Snap windows side‑by‑side for custom layouts.
