App Workspace vs App Itself
For App, you can regard it like a content pack at entire app workspace (which is called "Group" workspace earlier) level. When you republish your .pbix, the dataset will be updated into workspace. But it you have layout change in report, you have to update the App, like you need to update the content pack before.
Regards,
I did another test, and I guess the data updates.
But the layout I think will only update when yu update the App.
And this includes changes in the Dashboard, changing on existing pages of a report and adding new pages to a report...
Is that right?

Hi v-sihou-msft, when you say "dataset will be updated into the workspace" do you mean just the App workspace or the published app as well? My experience has been that a change in the dataset will be reflected in both the published App and the App workspace. Or is it the terminology I am using? It isnt readily apparent that datasets are only managed in the workspace and changes automatically flow through to apps regardless if they are updated or not.
Thanks
Hi v-sihou-msft, When you say "the dataset will be updated into workspace" do you mean both the published app and the app workspace, or are they one in the same? In my experience both the published app and the dataset in the app workspace are updated. It isn't readily apparent in the workspace that the datasets are manged in the app workspace only, and that changes to one changes the dataset in a published app regardless if the app has not been updated or not. Thanks
Hi.
What I found out for experience is:
- If you update the data, it updates the workspace and the app.
- If you update the layout, it updates the workspace, not the app.
- To update the layout on the app, you must go to the app and choose Update App.
So, a workspace can have a report with diferent layout with more or las pages than the app, until the app is update.
But the data is the same on workspace and app.
That makes perfect sense because we wouldn't have to update the app everythime data is refreshed.
I hope it helps explaining.
Hello,
Is it possible to create multiple apps from the same APP workspace to Premium environment? As I need to have different workspace in the same APP Workspace in the Premium environment as the content of the app is different with the folks I will share the work. Having said that, when you update a specific dashboard in the app workspace, is it possible to update ONLY that app from same APP Workspace in the Premium environment, as the users from the workspace will be different from other workspace. For example, have a main folder with subgroups?
Look forward your comments.
Thanks in advance,
Clara Gonzalez Ginestet
