Desktop report not syncing

Hi. First time using power BI I created a report on desktop. I would have thought it would sync to Service, but it doesn't?? I had to import the file I had created on desktop into powerBi service....

    After creating a report you need to publish it to the service and modify the refresh if the source of data is dynamic.
    Power bi desktop file will change only if you refresh data from it and press the "refresh button"

    for more information please refer:

    Yes if you need to make changes , you should open your pbix file , refresh it from desktop, make your changes and republish .

    Or technically you can make some chenges from service , less reccomened.

Are you meaning, "I assume that when I create a new report in Power BI Desktop, the work is automatically synchronized to Power BI Service?   If that is the case, the workflow would be to build in the Power BI desktop and then Publish to PowerBI Service into a specific Workspace.  There can be more involved here, though the following URL and article are helpful.
