When an end-user customizes a visual using the Personalize feature, then proceeds to export the visual to a PDF or PPT, the changes they have made are not reflected.

For example, if I switch a visual from the default bar chart to a pie chart, and then export to PDF or PPT, the bar chart still appears in the export.

This is still a problem in 2023 - I have client users who are enjoying the personalisation feature but then when they come to export the visuals their personalisation has gone. It renders the personalisation feature much less useful and is being seen as a bug that defeats the purpose. Please resolve this soon!

I would love to see this functionality added.

I'd argue that this is more of a bug than a feature request - as mentioned by other users, having the export function not working with a personalized view makes it lose a lot of the value unfortunately.

Personalizing a visual is a huge win, until you tell the end user they cannot export the changes. That is not a fun conversation to have with the business users.

The personalize visual feature is a killer idea, but not allowing the personalized visual to be exported is killing its utility. This is definitely needed. The end user will interact with the data to discover insights and once they reach a stage where they are happy/excited with that they see they would like to export this to pdf/ppt and use it in a presentation to further drive their point.

This is imperative! I'm surprised it doesn't already have this functionality.

This is something we also need, would be great to get this included in a future release.
