You'll have to open it, refresh it to get data, fix it, and then save as a template again.

Do you mean that:
1. I open the PBIT file - which will now open as a PBIX report
2. Make my fixes
3. Save it as a PBIT file now as verion 2.0
Is that correct ?
Yes. That should do it.

The Correct Way to Modify a PBIT File in 2026
If you want to make changes to a Power BI template file (.PBIT), you cannot simply save your changes directly back into the same file format.
👉 Instead, you must export the template again.
Why?
- Power BI Desktop only allows you to save files in .PBIX format.
- The .PBIT format (template) is only created via the export function.
