This guide gives you a tour of the new Power BI visuals, including:

  • A new Card visual that replaces the old Card
  • Multi-row Card by supporting multiple values and optional categories in a single visual with revised formatting controls.
  • New slicer options include Button slicers with clickable tiles, Input slicers that let users type text filters and List slicers that use circular selection options instead of checkboxes. 

  • The ability to manage and extend visuals through the Visualizations pane, including downloading additional visuals via "Get more Visuals"
  • Downloaded custom visuals are initially report-specific but can be pinned for reuse across other reports
