    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.

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

I have found that if you don't do this, the email submission process will automatically reject your workbook and ask you to ensure the updated version has been imported into the workbook. Even though it loads from the CDN, the actual imported packaged visual is stored in the workbook binary and can be seen if you unzip the .pbix file.
