RobCannon Unfortunately there is no mechanism to pull anything that exists in the PBI Service back down to the PBI Desktop. So, as of right now, your stuck with whatever the content pack provides. The only way you would be able to do this, is if/when the Desktop allows a connection to the content pack - then you could build/adjust in the Desktop and push to the Service.

      Couldn't you create your own content pack in Power BI Service, edit the reports and dashboards involved in re-publish? You could do all of that in the service, no need for Desktop.
