Overview
Sometimes, there is a situation where when we open a report and click on any visual it accidentally nudges a chart a little bit to the right or left. Sometimes, by mistake when viewing a report, the arrangement of visuals scatters a little bit.
Microsoft rolls out one new amazing feature to resolve this issue, that is, Lock Objects in Power BI.
Advantages of using this feature
When our purpose is to only view a report, this feature is a boon for us.
Visualization’s position is not changed.Saves a lot of the developer's time to resolve the position related issues.
Note - This feature is not saved with the report. So, every time you open a report, you need to enable this feature.
