Stop refresh on embedded live BI report page in PowerPoint

Once you have exported a BI report page into PowerPoint with Embed Live data option, how can you change settings in PowerPoint to only update the report from PowerBI upon manual refresh, opposed to automatically refreshing it with latest data once opening the presentation? This would be helpful,  if you have saved some time specific comments/analysis in your PPT, and you don't want the respective data for it to be overwritten. Thanks!

at the bottom of your live feed ppt slide, you can change the selection from Live Feed to Snapshot

Yeah I need a way to stop the auto refresh too. Has anyone find a way to turn it off so that you have to manually go to refresh instead as it use to be
