Personalize visuals lets each user change a visual type without affecting others

PL-300 By islever Editorial Last updated

Enhance reports for usability and storytelling

Short answer

B Personalize visuals gives each user a private visual-type switch without altering the shared report.

Question

You have a Power BI report that contains one visual. You need to provide users with the ability to change the visual type without affecting the view for other users. What should you do?
  1. From the Bookmarks pane, select Focus mode, and then select Add.
  2. From Report settings, select Personalize visuals. Correct Answer
  3. From Visual options in Report settings, select Use the modern visual header with updated styling options.
  4. From Tabular Editor, create a new perspective.

Key Takeaways

Personalize visuals grants report consumers a per-user editing surface — swap the visual type, reorder fields, and save the view privately, all without touching the published report definition.

A report with one visual must allow users to change the visual's type for themselves while leaving everyone else's view untouched.

Common mistake: Looking for the answer in visual headers or bookmarks — those change presentation and views for everyone or for navigation, never the visual type on a per-user basis.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

The Personalize visuals setting (B) in report settings enables the consumer-side experience where users can modify a visual — including exchanging it for a different visual type — and their changes persist only in their own view. The underlying report and everyone else's rendering are unaffected, satisfying both halves of the requirement.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

A bookmark with focus mode (A) zooms a visual for the report's default experience; it is authored for all users and does not permit type changes. Enabling the modern visual header (C) restyles the header menu for everyone and offers no visual-type editing. A Tabular Editor perspective (D) curates which fields a group of users sees in the model — a metadata view filter with nothing to do with visual type or per-user report state.

Community Comment Notes

All commenters vote B; one notes the other options cannot plausibly enable user-side editing at all. The functionality named in B is the documented feature for consumer personalization.
