What is exporting visuals and its risks?

< 1 min read

Exporting visuals means downloading data or reports as PDF, Excel, or PowerPoint.
It allows stakeholders to share insights outside Power BI.
Common exports include summarized data or underlying datasets.
In one project, management exported monthly KPIs to Excel for board meetings.
The risk is data leakage if sensitive information is exported.
Exported files also lose interactivity and real-time updates.
There is a risk of version mismatch if data changes later.
Proper access control and governance are important before enabling export.
