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.
- Comments (16)

Needed for Backup urgently.If you need to replace a Corrupted Dataset in the cloud all Comments are gone!
RE: Extract comments from API
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

My client requested this functionality today.
RE: Extract comments from API
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.
RE: Extract comments from API
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.
RE: Extract comments from API
Please, add this feature.
RE: Extract comments from API
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
RE: Extract comments from API
This has been a feature request from our team as well.
There is a requirement for a consolidated approach to capturing and displaying comments across multiple versions of a report type (customised for specific audiences).
Being able to manage the comments via API will allow for capturing and grouping of these comments into a centralised repository which can be flowed to the required reports.
