Super UserWhat is a difference between Basethemese and BuildInThemes using bpip project?
Hi jaryszek,
Thanks for folowupYes, in the current Power BI Desktop setup, custom themes are not linked permanently to the file location they are stored inside the PBIX once you import them. This means:
1.When you import a theme into a PBIX and save it, the theme settings are saved with that file.
2.Another developer opening the same PBIX will see the applied theme without needing to re-import it.
3. A re-import is only needed if you want to switch to a newer version of the theme file from your Git repository.So in your case, if the theme is applied and saved in the BPIP project’s PBIX, the other developer won’t have to import it every time only when you intentionally update the theme from “MyCompanyThemes” and want those changes reflected.
Best Regards,
Harshitha.
Super UserThank you.
But it means that every developer has to import repeatdly theme which is located in git repository?
Assume I have bpip project in Folder1.
And have theme in seperated folder called "MyCompanyThemes".
I shared bpip project with another developer. He will be forced to import theme all the time when power bi is opened?
Best,
Jacek
