Display version number in report

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I would like to display some kind of version number in the right corner of the report to differentiate the different versions of the same report in our deployment pipeline. 
One approach I thought about was to extract the version number of the version history feature from OneDrive. But I couldn't figure out how to extract that.

Does anyone have maybe another approach or idea of how to manage different versions in an halfway automatic way?

I would think the very basic way is to have version number as a parameter in your report, and change that parameter when publishing.

Those parameters can be programatically amended too via the REST API, but the tricky bit is what would trigger that amendment

It doesn't look like there is a way of getting the version number metadata out of SharePoint via Flow/Power Automate so presumably it would be the same for OneDrive

Hope that gives you some ideas, even if it's not a full solution. Interesting idea though, I'd be keen to see if you find a way
