Currently, the Export to PowerPoint feature exports one image file per report. Update the Export to PowerPoint feature to support exporting an image per report visual instead.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

I agree that the previous functionality, where each visual was exported as an independent image and each text box as an individual text box, was the preferred solution, and allowed the ability to easily delete, move, and manipulate images on ppt slides.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

This feature was exporting one image per visual before, no one complained about this functionality. Of all the issue that the "export to powerPoint" has the devs decided to change the one feature that was working fine. Please restore the functionality where visuals would export as an image and text boxes would export as text boxes. We are using this feature to prepare the board packages for 16 business entities. All of these small changes that get forced upon the users change the experience with the product. At least a way to revert to how it was should be included with some of these changes.

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

Ideally, it should be configurable at report level - export to a single image per report or image per visual. This gives the most flexibility

RE: Export to PowerPoint with individual image elements

I find the exporting of individual elements to be far more helpful. I really hope we can have this functionality back.
