With the newly released functionality of commenting for reports, it would be great to be able to retrieve these using the API in order to create summaries or overviews of the comments in a separate report.

Yes please... To take it one step higher... allow us to extract comments and load them (live) into a Dataset! This will greatly benefit reports that need to look at historical comments against a particular data point or metric

This would be a great improvement and widely used in our company - right now we can either flood people with email notifications or someone has to shift through comments and sort them manually (which is, work-wise, same as when we were writing comments in excel).
Exporting comments would significantly speed up our work.

We would like to consolidate all comments and do analysis on a periodic basis. Would be helpful to be able to retrieve the comments easily.

With a new release of Scorecard in Power BI Service and add Comments/Notes feature. It would add a great value to be able to extract comments/notes from Scorecard and Dashboard/reports alike in Power BI Service.
We want to capture and use Comments as a way for our scorecard/report/dashboard stakeholders to submit questions, comments and insights. We need a way to export them so that we can organize and manage them, and keep historical track.

RE: Extract comments from API

We want to use Comments as a way for our dashboard users to submit questions, comments, bug reports, and requests for enhancements to our developers. Therefore, we want to be able to export the comments, so that we can organize and manage them, and report status back to our users, covering the collection of comments. I understand that you can directly reply to a specific comment, but if/when we have dozens of users, who eventually submit hundreds of comments, spread across multiple sheets in a dashboard, reviewing comments one at a time does scale very well.

RE: Extract comments from API

I cannot believe comments cannot be accessed easily - or exported with PDF/Powerpoint. For our team, it is a nightmare to collect team comments internally and transfer from a contractor team / external developer
