Copy Visual Icon not appearing in PBI Desktop May 2020 Visual Header Settings

Hey PBI Community,

 

I read up here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste that a Copy Icon should be appearing underneath Visual Header settings to toggle the Copy icon to appear/disappear on visuals in Power BI, but in my copy of Power BI Version: 2.81.5831.821 64-bit (May 2020), I don't seem to have that option at all with "Visual Header Tooltip Icon" being the last choice in my list of toggles:

Any ideas?


Thanks!

@AndrewLGoldman , Have you done all the setting that is given in the doc. Once enabled that option will only work in power BI service. In desktop, ctrl+c and ctrl+v works

I have the same problem. What under my "more options" are only:  Export data, show as a table, remove, spotlight, sort by.

 

Can anybody explain to me how to make the 'Copy visual Icon' show up in the PBI Desktop? Thanks!

Hi @AndrewLGoldman,

you have to go to Power BI Service, login, create a dashboard tile and then you'll finde in the upper right corner of the visual, More options(...), choose Copy visual as image.

Can you confirm that you changed your report settings according to paragraph 4 ?

 

Having said that I have that setting enabled and cannot see the icon either. Nevertheless using CTRL-C/CTRL-V works.
