Copying and pasting visuals between reports in same workspace on Power BI service doesn't work

[emmabaylor]

With the new side navigation update, I'm not sure how to copy and paste between reports anymore. It used to be possible to keep the side navigation expanded and switch between reports within the same workspace to copy and paste visuals. Now, the side navigation doesn't show the reports and I'm not able to paste from one report to another because I have to fully reopen the workspace.

I constantly used that method because I have separate similar reports for a few levels in my org and a lot of test versions. Anyone else have this issue or find a new way to copy and paste visuals on the service?

Thanks!

Hi, @emmabaylor 

This article covers two different ways to copy and paste a visual.

• copy a visual in a report and paste it onto another report page (requires editing permissions for the report)
• copy an image of a visual from Power BI to your clipboard, and paste it into other applications (available in the Power BI service and mobile, unavailable in Power BI Desktop)

Thanks for your reply! The article doesn't show any options for copying between different reports, though, which is what I need help with. Previously, I was able to copy multiple visuals on one report, and paste the visuals into a different report, as long as they were in the same workspace. Now, I'm unable to do so because of the navigation pane update.
