Hi Feng_Ling ,

Do you want to know how to make that the embedded report is also updated when the content of the report changes in Power BI? Your application is only referencing the report, all the creation, updating is done inside Power BI. If there are any changes to the report, your application should be able to get the latest content. Please check the links below, hope they can help you.

Power BI embedded- Apps Owns Data

Once you have your web app built, you would modify the web.config file to list each report out there.  It will show an index page that lists them.  On azure portal in the app services, if you go to configuration, you can list it out there.

We list all our report settings as PBI: then the GUID as the value.

Then it can check for anything that starts with PBI: as a report GUID.

You can add an <add key > tag in your web.config to test it out.

    Thanks for the clear solution. But we're just wondering if we can separate the report maintance from the code deployment due to they (code deployment and report maintance) belong to different team. So we find the deployment pipeline solution and we'd like to know if there is a downtime risk during the report deployment using the depoyment pipeline?
