Version control for published dataset
Hi all,
I would like to know the best practices to apply in version control of the published dataset within power bi service.
I need to control all the datasets of my company. All the users of my company can publish datasets, this means that I have to control not only mine datasets but also datasets published by other users.
I would like to know if there is a way to download only the pbit or the metadata related to a dataset or if there exists a tool which helps me in version control.
Kind regards and Thank you in advance
SampaSim - You cannot download just the PBIT, you would have to download the PBIX and then save to a PBIT. And then put that in GitHub or SharePoint document library, etc.
Hi SampaSim
You might take Greg_Deckler 's suggestion into consideration for generate the pbix from power bi. but for convert them into pbit file bulkly, you might raise it as an idea in the portal:

Greg_Deckler Do you know if there exists an automated solution to do it? I need to control all the datasets published by the user of my company. Then it is possible that I have to download one hundred datasets of 1 GB and more and, then, save all them in a pbit format. It will require a lot of time.
