Changing data source for thin report

I am trying to make significant changes to the source steps in my dataset, and then evaluate any changes seen in related thin reports.

 

Naturally I need to publish the new dataset to a new "sandbox" type workspace while preserving support for the "in production" report and then modify the thin report to use that new dataset as a live connection.  How do I go about changing the data source for a copy of the thin report?  I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the forums, but the sheer number of "change data source" posts is overwhelming.

 

Thanks in advance.

I found the answer.  Writing it here for other's convenience.

 

Transform Data dropdown -> Data source settings,

 

Then choose from available datasets.

 

Nothing like publicly sharing your difficulties for getting you to solve them yourself, right?

 

Guess I'll also accept it as a solution so the thread isn't active.
