What's changed: Created PL-300 Chapter 4 (domain: Visualize and analyze, part 2 = enhance and analyze): usability and storytelling (bookmarks, custom tooltips, edit interactions, sync slicers, selection pane, drillthrough, navigation, mobile), accessibility and personalization (alt text/tab order/contrast, Personalize visuals, automatic page refresh), and identifying patterns and trends (Analyze feature, binning/clustering, key influencers/decomposition tree, reference lines/forecasting, anomaly detection).
