Hello,


Could the PBI team consider using F12 as the Save As key to produce the traditional (and in my opinion better) Save As system dialog box please? Office does this.

As an example, if I need to use the tradional dialog save as to navigate to a folder and save, I have to do the following:


  1. Click the Save Icon in the PBI Desktop title bar.
  2. Click More Options on the Save this File dialog.
  3. Click Save as from the list of options on the left, under Open.
  4. Click Browse this device at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Use the traditional Save As system dialog.


I don't know about anyone else, but in my opinion this is an exessive amount of steps for somthing that should be far, far simpler. Pressing F12 as a shortcut to the above would be great to have.


Thank you.

RE: F12 Save As Like Office Products

This behavior was changed around October 2023 I believe. The new save box that comes up is TERRIBLE! and makes it very difficult to save as a .pbip (to save as .pbip or pbit you must follow the steps listed in the idea). The old standard system save dialog box was a much better and more direct option for saving. Power BI Team, PLEASE revert this change As Soon As Possible, we will all appreciate it!
