Closing a .pbix file and opening another .pbix file

[jbirdme]

If I want to close one .pbix file and open another one, the only way I have found so far to do this is to exit PowerBI desktop and then restart it.  If I click on the seond .pbix file while the first one is open, PowerBI generates a new instance and both files are open at the same time.  Is there a way to close a .pbix file in PowerBI without exiting Power BI?

Even 6 years later in 2025, the answer is still NO. I wish there was a simple Close button in the File menu.

The way it rolls, as you have described.
