Multiple users using PowerBI desktop in parallel
KyleEdw there is no such method to work parallel on same power bi file, what we did is used SharePoint file check-in and check out procedure, so when a user wants to work, it checks out the file, do his work, check back in and log his changes and then next user can take over it. it keeps the changelog and version history and avoids multiple users to work on at the same time.
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

KyleEdw , there is something discussed in May Microsoft submit. Where you can import multiple models and work
https://mymbas.microsoft.com/sessions/67925f36-c04c-43c2-9411-bf51b8bd2cc6?source=sessions
As of now, you can publish a pbix and share and add it as a source. And multiple people can work on visualization.
For Model, you have to wait for the above feature shown in mymbas
Yes, I have heard that this feature is requested and it will come in a later verision (hopefully next launch:) )
In regards to publishing the .pbix and sharing it as a source do you mean the availibility to publish the .pbix file into a workspace on the powerBI online service, share it with users / grant accesses and then from there have those users edit visualizations? Im assuming you can have multiple users in parallel work on datasets/dataflows on the PBI online service (or any other features like visualizations), but the limitation is mainly just with multiple users in parallel on PBI desktop...
Would be great if you elaborate here
