I subscribe to Power BI report emails for operational monitoring, where the primary goal is to quickly glance at the report image and immediately decide whether action is required.
Recently, a Copilot-generated summary has been added above the report image in subscription emails. For my use case, this summary provides no additional value and actively reduces usability, because:
- It pushes the report image out of immediate view
- It adds noise to a workflow that is intentionally designed to be fast and visual
- The interpretation is unnecessary when the recipient already understands the report
- It increases compute and resource usage for content that is ignored
Requested improvement:
- Make Copilot summaries in subscription emails optional (per user or per subscription), or
- Place the Copilot summary below the report image instead of above it
Power BI subscriptions are often used as a lightweight alerting mechanism. In those scenarios, the report image is the message. Please allow users to preserve that experience without mandatory AI-generated analysis.
