Bi APP not showing Comments button

Hi All.

 

I have a report that is published in the power bi service, and when viewing the report online, i am able to make comments ( on the right hand side of the browser screen. But when i try and view the "APP" thats from the exact same report, it doesnt show a comments button at all. Any idea why and how to resolve it.?

Hi @master_NK ,

 

According to the documentation, the comments feature is only available for reports and dashboards in the Power BI service, not for apps. Apps are a way to distribute your reports and dashboards to a large number of users, but they do not support all the features that are available in the Power BI service. Therefore, you cannot see or add comments to an app, even if it is based on a report that has comments enabled in the Power BI service.

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you. If you would like to suggest  feature improvements, you may  vote the idea and comment here to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

 

Best Regards,

Neeko Tang
