Download .rdl file for a Paginated Report

 

I had created a Report Builder paginated report and published it to PowerBI Service.

I can't find the original .rdl file that was saved on my local computer.

Is there a way to download the report specific .rdl file from PowerBI Service? how?

 

Any help greatly apreciated?

@RichFlorida , under the three dots or under the file menu you should have an option.

@amitchandak , is my understanding correct that rdl is ONLY available for download after a successful 'run' of the report? what if the report is in error and unable to be 'ran', is there a way to still download the source/rdl so one can effect the fix?
