Power BI Desktop - Is it safe to create sensitive reports On Premise and not publish them?

Anonymous — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:17:02 GMT

Hello,

I know it might sound stupid but...

We have to handle some sensitive data and PBI would help save time, having an on-cloud platform I was wondering if I should be concerned about working with this data in Power BI Desktop - On-Premise.

Is there a setting or an article that can tell me that none of my data will go into the cloud and if I can toggle Publishing Off to avoid human errors?

Thank you very much!

Hi, Anonymous

If you don't publish it, then the report created in the desktop is placed locally. It will not automatically connect to the cloud service. If I don’t understand what you mean, please explain.
