Yes exactly, track and save the changes
Separately. To make a table with historical data.

From what I understand, the hope was to find a way to keep historical data inside Power BI. Unfortunately, this is not possible - by refreshing the data all existing will be overwritten. Even the recently introduced incremental refresh feature will not keep historical data on its own, but just limit the refresh to the latest added data.
