For an overview of what is new see Sharon Om's What's New in SAP Lumira 1.22 (summary)
SAP's christina.obry gave this webcast last week. I will try to not repeat what Sharon provided in her blog.

Exporting to PDF was a popular idea on Idea place
It allows you to share story outside Lumira
You can print them via PDF
PDF is supported on Desktop, Server and Cloud
Filter information is in the appendix of the PDF
There are some limitations on tables and reports on exporting

Infographics now have more templates and work like a wireframe

With BI4.1 SP5 and above you can save the Lumira document to the BI platform
You don’t need add-on, server, or HANA
However to view in Launchpad you need the add-on
