Embed links issue - first tab isn't shown by default?

We're having some issues with embed links. It seems like ones that we have published more recrntly are showing the most recently added tab at the first one that shows up, as opposed to the first tab. Is this intentional, or has anyone else seen it yet? We're triyng to keep our reports organized in a certain way and it's making it a pain. 

 

Granted, we're using these embed links for Sharepoint, and it does sound like a better solution is coming for that.

If you are using the Power BI Desktop and uploading or publishing your reports to the server, the tab that is visible when you save the Desktop file is the one that will be showing when your report opens on the Server.

@TimRCM, I tried but failed to understand your issue clearly. Could you please provide some steps or screenshots to show what you're trying to do? And what is the result you expected?

Absolutely, sorry if that was worded improperly. 

 

When we create a new report and an embed link for it, the embedded content used to show the first "tab" of that report by default. Now it seems to either pick one by random, or pick the most recently changed one. 

 

For example, I just updated one of our reports and the fourth tab is now showing when the embed link loads. I want it to show the first tab, every time, as that's where I have a "summary" of the data. 

 

Does that make sense? I can try to grab some screenshots if not. 

If you are using the Power BI Desktop and uploading or publishing your reports to the server, the tab that is visible when you save the Desktop file is the one that will be showing when your report opens on the Server.

 

Was just coming back to post that! For whatever reason it never clicked that this was the case. Thank you!
