Community ChampionUnable to pin visualization to dashboard
Thanks v-danhe-msft
I think I figured out, at least on my end, what the issue is. When I went in to File|Options|Report Settings, and unchecked "Hide the visual header in reading view" then published, that change didn't get saved. I had to uncheck it, then manully save the file, then publish.
Something in the November desktop is not recognizing that there has been a change for that setting, and thus doesn't require you to save before publishing, so I suppose it publishes the last saved file assuming you've made no other changes to the file.
If you have made other changes, it does ask to save. So minor bug from my standpoint, but a frustrating one. :smileyhappy:
edhans Open the report in the Power BI Desktop, check to see if the format option for that card visual has the "Visual Header" set to "off" - this will make the visual behave like you are describing where you won't see the pin icon or be able to act on it.

Visual Header is ON for all visuals in the model. Very small, just 4 items.
In PBI settings, under Report, both Hide Visual Header in Reading Mode and Use Modern Visual Header are selected, but I published this file 4-5 times with those options set/not set trying to fix it. No luck.
edhans hmm. Have you tried deleting the visual and re-creating it? Occasionally I'll run into some kludgy issue with the visual not working as expected and this works.

I'll have to try later. The problem is no visual is working, so my tables cannot be exported or sorted for example. It is like the entire report is in read only mode. I can click columns in a table visual to sort, or data to crosshighlight, but I cannot access the ellipsis menu to spotlight, pin, anything. Not wanting to delete the tables and recreate honestly.
