I want to be able to store some documentation in Power BI.
I have multiple apps and workspace, sharing some common/enterprise defined KPIs.
So I want to give access to my user to a documentation from power bi, like a help button which open my custom documentation.
I want to have both shared documentation and report level documentation.
at the report level I want to explain how to use and understand a specific report, while my global documentation explains the KPIs formulas, business rules etc...

RE: add custom help pages / documentation

I think this is a really important idea, a report page is only as valuable as a users understanding of it. We find with our users that they don't want to click on each visual on the page to see information about it (using visual header tooltips), they prefer to get information about the report in a single place. Plus visual header tooltips have a text limit.

Would it be possible to have a feature which can be turned on for a page which allows you to enter rich text into a box? It could create a help icon in a corner of the page so the users know to click or hover over the top to get to the help.

This would save me real estate on the page because at the moment I have the report title and help text in a box at the top of the report.
