State Persistence
When the field dragging option is enabled, any user can change the pivot structure by dragging and dropping the fields, either on the pivot area or from within the field chooser.
The State Persistence feature will store and save each users’ preferred state and load it to that user when logged in. However the user left the pivot structure, that is how they will receive it back when they log back in or refresh the page until the owner of the dashboard will republish, this will override the viewer’s preferred state. When this feature is turned off, the user will still be able to drag and drop and change the structure of the pivot, but their preferred state will not persist and will return back to the original published state upon any page refresh.
The Published Changes feature adds a button to the pivot which enables the view to restore the changes to the owner’s original publish state.
