Updates to Power BI Desktop - February 2022

This update includes the following new features:

Feature	Notes
New formatting pane	This big, big change is still in preview, but it's now turned on by default, which gives us the green light to start teaching using it (and for me to blog on it here).
Formatting visuals for mobile view	You can now change the format of a visual for mobile view. Even though this feature is in preview at the moment I'm covering it here because it's such a big strategic development (you may now have to maintain two versions of the same report).
Multi-row cards are interactive	You can now click on one or more rows in a multi-row card visual to select them, which will filter what's displayed in other visuals on the same report page.

As you'll see when you read through these blogs, I've had a few problems getting the new features working, but I suspect this is because I've got such a strange software set-up on my laptop.
