Import pbiviz from file instead gets latest appsource version

Hello,

I recently had some of my visuals accepted to appsource.
I have since made improvements and intended to push out the latest version to the store, but in order to do that I need to update the version of the visuals included in my sample report.
The problem happens when I try to import the latest version of the visual "from a file".
It confirms the update, and then claims to have been successfully imported, however I do not see the improvements.
If I right click and select "About" for the visual, it will report the old version number and even that it was obtained through appsource rather than a file.

The same also happens if I create a brand new report.

Is this a bug or do I need to change a setting somewhere that is overriding the import?

Thanks

  • Hello,

     

    It's the expected behavior.

    Your visual is in CDN and PowerBI takes it from there by GUID, despite you imort new one.

    If you want to test your changes, you can change GUID and import the visual, however, the report for submission sending has to contain visual with original GUID.

      So when I submit the visual and sample report, The sample report will contain the old visual?

      Email will have attached Visual Version 2.0, and sample report containing visual 1.0?

      Thanks for the reply

        I recommend to re-import the visual into the report nevertheless.
