Post PatronConvert Old Workspaces to New Workspaces
hi, markefrody
1. Current new workspace is a preview feature, power bi-product team is developing it. and more function could be used. But we can't give you the exact time for it, and we believe that It will be finished soon.
2. During the preview period, you can't automatically convert your old app workspaces to new ones. You can however create a new app workspace and publish your content to the new location.
When the new workspaces are generally available (GA), you can opt in to migrate the old ones automatically. At some point after GA, you'll have to migrate them.
3. I recommend you migrate them after the new workspaces to be generally available. For now, it needs you manually reconstruct my dashboards and for it is a preview feature there are also some limitations in it.
But you could try it early.

Is Microsoft saying that this functionality was in the Power BI Service September 2019 release? If so, I do not see this functionality available yet under the Power BI Service Admin Portal or under Edit Workspace. The link below is where Microsoft is showing this.
In April 2019, we released the general availability of the new Power BI workspaces, which allowed you to:
Manage access using security groups, distribution lists, and even multiple Office 365 Groups.
Create a workspace in Power BI without creating an Office 365 group.
Effectively manage workspaces with tools and APIs for Power BI admins.
Now, we are enabling upgrade of existing classic workspaces to become new workspaces. Workspace and Power BI Admins will be able to opt in to upgrade their workspaces on demand.
At a later time, Power BI will require the upgrade of classic workspaces to the new workspace experience. This will not start until after all classic workspaces can be upgraded through opt-in.
