Export to PowerPoint (Preview) feedback
Hi - thanks for your feedback.
This functionality is expected for now. As we've move through Preview for this featrure, we've updated it to export one image as part of ongoing reliability and performance improvements.
To help us prioritize the work of exporting individual image elements, please vote on the following idea, which I've just created:
The change to a single image slide is a major loss of functionality for me and my client! It has broken our dashboards.
We were generating a slideshow that looped through slide decks for presentation on company TV screens as an easily-viewable dashboard.
We had each individual tile graphic updating with an animation or pulse, so that we could draw attention to updates from slide to slide.
PLEASE restore this functionality!!
Either that, or provide us the ability to configure (like in PowerPoint) an animation on the tiles to update them. Since there's no way to configure a smooth change from one filter value to another, this is at least a workaround.
Consider how basic it should be to automatically (without manual interaction): update each tile to filter for a different time period (month to month, last 2 years, last 1 year, last 6 months, etc) or for different filter values (by product line or region, etc).
With individual tile graphics, we could effectively do that. Now we can do nothing. And since PowerPoint just takes snapshots and doesn't dynamically retrieve updates, it has to be generated any time the data changes, and that just kills many uses entirely. Especially since it appears you also killed the Office Docs App that used to allow us to embed tiles.
