Kudo CollectorApp 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.

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.

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.
is it possible to create multiple apps from the same workspace?
if not, that would mean that I need to publish the same datasource to different workspaces in order to create different type of dashboards on the same dataset?
which makes the whole thing difficult to maintain?
