The idea would be that Custom Visuals can be downloaded to a local desktop "library". Then, each time you launch Power BI, all Custom Visuals would be available along with the Default Visuals. Having to import the Custom Visual each time you create a new .PBIX file is a pain!

Hi with the ability to personalize your visualization pane you can now pin any visuals from the marketplace to your viz pane and will show up side by side with the default visuals across all the reports when you create a new content or edit existing one. you need to be logged in. please see short video and description here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-june-2019-feature-summary/#personalizedVizPane the feature is still in preview and you should enable it in the desktop. Thanks for submitting your idea!

Under review for 2 years now, have you guys figured out a way to do this?

RE: Custom Visuals Enabled every time Power BI Desktop launches

This is a great idea, it's a little bit complicated since you need to import it if you need to use it in another report

In the same thinking line, customs visual are becoming very common and mandated on PowerBI. If we could open on PBI file and copy and past that same visualization to another different file or template it would be even better. All needed from there is to modify the parameters accordingly.

Agree this seems like basic functionality
