Personalize visuals allows to end users to change existing visuals with new visuals as per their need.
They can adjust the visual the way they want, and save it as a bookmark to come back to.
They don’t need to have edit permission for the report, or to go back to the report author for a change.
Prerequisites for this – Update or download the latest version of Power BI from the official Microsoft website.
