Import Report from Power BI to Power BI Desktop

I use Power BI Desktop, create my report, all is nice and great. I Published it. 

 

But what happens when I need to change something ? 

 

I know If I made changes in Desktop I can publish it again and changes will be overwritten, BUT If I change things in editor via Web how can I Export that report back to Desktop is there a way to export from web back to Desktop ?

 

Thx

    ROGI There is no current mechanism to save reports from the Service to a PBIX file. It's a one way street at the moment.

  • Has there been a change to this answer?  It seems ridiculous that you can't import reports from the web service to the desktop app...
