    Hi Franklin,

     

    We haven't found a good alternative way where I work - we do what you're doing.

     

    One small piece of advice is that you could be saving the file as a PBIT instead of PBIX as if you're bringing a lot of data into the model your different versions will end up taking up a lot of space.

    PBIT does mean that the model will need to load the data every time you open, so it's a bit of a trade-off.
