Advocate IMove Application from Workspace A to B
Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possible to move a Power BI App from a Development workspace to a Production workspace, rather than recreating it from scratch.
Both workspaces already contain the same elements (reports, semantic models, etc.), so ideally I'd just move/publish the existing app to Production and repoint its content references to the corresponding items in that workspace — instead of building the app definition again from zero.
Is there a supported way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi PBI_2K26
Yes, you are correct, Deployment Pipelines can move the supported Power BI content between workspaces, but they don’t move the App itself.Thanks.

Hi PBI_2K26
You cannot directly move a Power BI App from one workspace to another, as apps are tied to the workspace where they were created. The supported approach is to create/publish the app in the target workspace using the corresponding reports and semantic models there.

Currently you are not able to move App accross workspaces as app are linked to reports and semantic model in that particular workspace.
Fabric/Power BI Deployment Pipelines options gives you the opportunity to migrate reports, semantics models and dashboards and perserve the realtionship between these and from there you can create the APP in that workspace.
