Workspaces can use rich infographics and visuals that Microsoft Power BI supports. These infographics and visuals include many controls that third parties provide. Therefore, workspaces can provide a highly visual, interactive experience for users.

Users can interact with data by clicking or touching visuals on the page. They can see cause and effect, and do simple what-if operations without leaving the workspace. Thanks to stunning, interactive visuals, your users have fun exploring data and discovering hidden trends.
