How can I edit a content pack in PBI Desktop?

I have created a content pack from the Azure Enterprise Subscription.  But I want to tweak one of the fields.  Is there a way to import this into PowerBI desktop so I can make those edits?

 

In particular, all of our subscription names like 'Microsoft Azure Enterpise (The Real Name)".  I want to strip the "Microsoft Azure Enterpise" stuff from the name and just display "The Real Name".  RIght now, when I see this data on a report, all of the name are too long to display and the ALL of the labels look like "Microsoft Azure Enter...", which is totally useless.

@RobCannon Currently (as of today), you cannot save a report from the Service to a PBIX file.

@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.

Thank you for the response.  And just to confirm, I cannot create a desktop Power BI file from a content pack in the gallery?  Even with a Pro license?

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.
