ZoomCharts Documentation

ZoomCharts Power BI visuals are regularly updated with new features, improvements, and fixes.

To check the version of a visual, open the visual information screen in one of the following ways:

• Select the Info button in the upper-right corner of the visual, if it is enabled.
• Right-click the visual icon in the Visualizations pane and select About.

Automatic Updates

Power BI visuals from Microsoft AppSource are updated automatically when the report has access to the internet.

Automatic updates apply when ZoomCharts visuals were added using one of the following methods:

• From AppSource visuals in Power BI, using Get more visuals from the Visualizations pane.

  

  

• From a .pbiviz file downloaded from Microsoft AppSource, using Import a visual from a file in the Visualizations pane.
• From Organizational visuals, if an administrator added the AppSource version of the ZoomCharts visual in the Power BI admin settings.

  

Manual updates

A visual may need to be updated manually if it does not use the same visual identifier as the AppSource version.

Manual updates may be required in the following cases:

• A non-AppSource version of a ZoomCharts visual was imported using Import a visual from a file.
• A non-AppSource version of a ZoomCharts visual was added to Organizational visuals by an administrator.
• The report uses a test version of a ZoomCharts visual that is not publicly available in Microsoft AppSource.
• The report does not have access to the internet, for example when it is used in an offline Power BI Report Server environment.
