No longer able to Customize a Blade in Azure Portal - azure

Up until recently, it was possible to customize Azure resource blades by clicking the buttons maked "Add Tiles".
See these out-of-date instructions.
It appears that the latest iteration of the portal has minor changes to the look-and-feel, but has also moved or removed vital controls.
Now there is no clickackable element titled "Add parts" or "Add tiles". The image below shows what my Web App blade currently looks like, and the image below that shows what it had previously looked like.
So, for THIS month at least, how do we begin customizing a blade in the Azure portal?
Here is what the Web App blade used to look like. See the 'Add tiles' buttons that are no longer there.

From Docs:
Since launching dashboards a few months ago, there has been a steady decline in blade customizations and a rapid increase in dashboard customizations. This strong usage trend shows that you prefer customizing dashboards over blades. To support that trend, we will remove the ability to customize blades and dedicate our efforts to enhancing dashboard functionality.
If you customized a blade, your customization will soon be removed. To preserve that customization, pin the customized tiles to a dashboard. Simply right-click the tile and select Pin to dashboard as shown in the following image.

The Azure portal no longer allows customizing blades. This was removed due to low usage and to improve performance. Use dashboards instead.

Widgets such as dropdown disappear when publishing dashboard in databricks

I have created a dashboard with a few widgets which runs varies queries to change the visualisations.I would like to share the dashboard alone but unable to do so via publishing it as the dropdowns are removed in the published dashboard.
is there any solution to this problem without integrating any other third party visualisation tools.
searched various documentation for the solution but could not find any hints.
Widgets should be visible when you share the dashboard. Double check the permissions the dashboard receiver has as well as the sharing setting (which credentials are used when running the queries behind the dashboard).
For more details, refer to Dashboard access control
Note: If permissions look okay you could file a support ticket via the portal for further investigation.
FYI - There are more publishing options for dashboards in the roadmap.

One of the workaround to save the changes made to layout in APIM developer portal as following:
Go to the developer portal of the APIM Instance > Click on APIs option on right top corner > Click on Edit Layouts option comes in the bottom right corner >
Edit your layout by adding the required options like List of APIs or API History or Widgets and then click on Save button is available on left side.
After making selection, Save option will be enabled to apply changes.

Azure AD profile photo not showing in right corner

I am a member of this Azure Subscription: Visual Studio Enterprise - MPN. In the Azure Portal, I created a new tenant and added my custom domain to it that I bought from a Domain Registrar. The new domains works fine. I have also successfully added profile picture to the domain using this Official Azure tutorial. But even after about six hours, the picture does not show up on the upper right corner when I login to the Azure Portal with the new domain login.
Question: What I may be missing, and how can we have the picture show up?
Remarks: My online search shows some relevant links such as this and this but these links seem to have different contexts.
My Custom Domain Login at the top right corner:
When click on the View account link (shown above), profile picture shows displays as expected:
I would give it 24 hours. microsoft does not work in realtime. There are various systems that need to sync when you make changes. for example, if you change an office 365 group, it could take up to 24 hours for the changes to get to microsoft teams, exchange, sharepoint. etc. some of those systems have their own backend data storage and take time to sync.

portal.azure.com WebApp Panel without info/tabs

I have 4 different azure accounts, each on with its own subscription and 5 WebApps on each subscription.
On my last created account+subscription+WebApps something really strange is happening in the "WebApp Panel" of the portal.azure.com: when I select any of my webapps the panel does not have the usual information.
It is best explained with pictures:
A normal WebApp Panel:
A fail WebApp Panel
As you can see it doesn't contain the usual information.
For more info, I don't know if it has any sense, autoswap is not working for these WebApps :S
I've created an empty website following these steps: http://emptywebsite-for-stackoverflow.azurewebsites.net
We have removed parts that users were not using often from the default web app blade, you can add any of the parts you like by click on the "Add Tile" Button and You can add a group via the "Add Group" button on the bottom and add your tiles there as well.
You should see a pane of tile that you can drag tiles from and drop on your blade. Let us know if this helps, and if you like to see any other part more often on the website blade after creating the blade. After you have customized the blade it will not change again.
The Part Gallery will look like this,
Hope this helps !

Change Azure Website Subscription

I had a free trial with windows azure, I was out of the country and it ran out.
I have now upgraded to a pay-as-you-go account. All good.
However, my previous websites still run off my old subscription, is there any way to reactivate these websites using my new pay-as-you-go subscription?
If you upgraded the existing free account versus opened a new pay-as-you-go account, this should have been a seamless transition.
You can contact support - use the Billing Questions option and then select Transfer Subscription, and they should be able to help you.
Alternatively, of course, you could redeploy your assets to the new subscription.
I created a "Billing" ticket with microsoft. There is a type of ticket as you go through their wizard specifically for this. They were able to upgrade my "Free Trial" to the pay as you go AFTER i had let the free trial expire. The downside was that all my virtual machines were deleted. It did however give me access to my websites and storage without any problem. I was able to recreate all the VM's using the storage vhd's.
My experience on this is that I just redeploy to a new website I created under new subscription. I didn't find a way to move them over to new subscription.
You can move SQL Azure to new subscription, but not website. To move SQL Azure to new subscription, you will need to use old Azure portal management. Follow this step:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2012/03/07/moving-sql-azure-servers-between-subscriptions.aspx
Note that you are moving the server where the database lives. So, if you have more than one DB in the same server, everything will be moved.
You can move Azure SQL DB from one subscription to another on https://manage.windowsazure.com
Both subscriptions should in the same Default Directory. If they are in different directories then select:
Subscriptions
Manage subscriptions/directory
Select subscription and click "Edit" at the bottom.
Choose directory where other subscription and click "Next".
When both subscriptions in the same directory.
Choose "SQL Databases"
Select proper server
and in Quick Glance you should see "Change subscription"
The documentation in the link stack247 posted is now outdated. To change the target subscription for a database, you have to change the target subscription of the server for the database. There are several ways to navigate to the server, but here is just one example:
Click on the database tab
Click on the name of the database you want to change
In the dashboard view, click on the link to the server in the quick glance section. This is on the bottom right corner of the view.
In the dashboard view, click on the Change Subscription link in the quick glance section. This is on the right side of the view.
Change the Target Subscription, and click the check button.
As far as changing the subscription for a website or cloud service, I would do what is recommended above; and republish the website or cloud service. When you publish, change the settings to target a different subscription by clicking on the previous button.
---------Update----------
If you have a bunch of assets that need to be moved to another account, create a ticket with the Azure helpdesk. You will have to do the above and switch out the accounts for the databases/servers, but Microsoft is able to run a script on their end that moves everything. Depending on the size of your assets, it may take a little longer. Fortunately for me, it was only a day to move everything. I would recommend doing this instead of publishing everything a second time.

All the solutions mentioned above are now outdated.
In the https://portal.azure.com/,
For SQL Servers, go in the "SQL Servers" menu, select the server to change. In the Overview, click on the Edit button, located right to the name of the subscription.
For WebApps, go to the "App Service plans" menu, select your plan, click on the Resource Group and in the Overview, click on the Edit button, located right to the name of the subscription.
