Export to Powerpoint - Hide "Hidden" Pages
Export to PowerPoint reveals "hidden" Pages, and the "hidden" pages contribute to the maximum of export limit of 15 pages. It would be great if:
a) the hidden pages did not contribute to the maximum 15 pages
b) the hidden pages were not revealed when exported to PowerPoint

Hi everyone,
This is coming soon when we also release filtered export capabilities in the service. We’ll have an update on this status shortly!
Thanks,
Chris

Amazing ! This definitely prevents us to build neat PDF from report, as tooltip pages are not designed for rendering without a particular context. We alsao have some hidden debug pages, and a version control / tech documentation pages... don't want thousands of end-users to see this !!!

Still an issue almost 2 years later. When you have 50 tabs in a file, of which 25 are under development, you don't want end users nosing through everything asking a ton of questions on a not-ready-for-primetime view. Please fix!

This should definitely be fixed. You should have possibility to have "completely hidden" pages which end user is not able to extract. For example, I've used hidden pages for tooltips, administrative purposes, pages which are currently under development etc.

The highly undesirable option to export hidden reports to powerpoint (among others) also gives end users the option to display the hidden report IN powerbi.com since it exploids the otherwise fairly unknown reportID. Very very strange. This should be fixed in my opinion

There is a Exclude Hidden Pages Check box now (at least on the PDF export) , but it is not set to On as Default, The Default should be to exclude the Hidden Pages. If the Author Intended Folks to see this as default why did Would you Hide the Sheet?
I also Agree that it would be nice to be able to Set a Page as "Totally Hidden" -

Reported at beginning of 2018, started more then half a year passed since this coming soon...
Shouldn't be that hard don't export hidden pages (PDF and Powerpoint)...
Don't get me wrong the new features coming out are awesome but this simple stuff are super frustrating...
Had to rollback a beautiful tool tip implementation because the export looks sloppy and we can't send that to our clients...

The fact this security flaw hasn't been fixed baffles me. This feature is disabled in our tenancy and its never going to be turned back on until this get fixed.

Export to PDF includes the hidden pages as well. Please include this fix.

Come on, why would an admin hide a tab? Exactly: because he does not want anyone to see them? The "solution" that you have right now (letting the end user chose if he wants to export the hidden tabs) clearly isn't one.
You must give the admin the ability to totally hide the tabs from the end user.
Please.

Can we please have the ability to REMOVE the option for the user to export hidden tabs. Maybe within a Report's Settings (or even tennant Admin Portal) have a setting for "Allow/disable users to export hidden tabs"
The issue i'm facing is that a number of my reports have hidden tabs that contain either tooltips, drill-through pages or WIP pages and I hate the thought that users of my reports can see those pages if they choose to include 'hidden pages' in an export to PDF or PowerPoint.

Given the end user an "option" to see the hidden page isn't a fix.

as we are using 'hidden' pages often for report & data validation I would love to see a functionality to 'not allow' export of hidden pages which cannot be switched by report consumer.

Are you stupid? Do you even know what's the meaning of "Hidden page"?
We hide the pages because we don't want to user to see them.
Why would you even allow user to export those pages? -

by default hidden tabs should not export, please change it ASAP as it destroys whole good idea of exporting with filters

What would make the most sense is if there was an option for the Report Builder to select which Tabs are exportable, whether they are hidden or not.
This will allow control over which tabs are accessible and if the user was presented which a check box selection of all Tabs that are available to export and include in the PowerPoint or PDF, that would be the most powerful option.

So with the new update, there is now an option to Include or Exclude hidden pages. But how do we set a default option to exclude hidden pages? We do not want end users with view only access to be able to see the hidden pages - these are hidden for a reason.

The hidden pages should not be exported.
