Navigation sections in Power BI APP

When I am in the edit mode it will not let me add report sections under one of my main tabs, in the navigation area of the edit screen.

Hi, @Veterans 

 

A Power BI app include dashboards and reports. You are unable to find datasets in an app. Apps are an easy way for designers to share different types of content at one time. App designers create the dashboards and reports and bundle them together into an app. The designers then share or publish the app to a location where you, the business user, can access it. If you want to add report sections under tabs, you need to edit the report in the corresponding workspace.

 

For further information, you may refer to the document .

 

Best Regards

Allan

HI @Veterans 

 

I would dowmload the file from workspace edit and upload it back. Yes Power BI has limitations editing a file in workspace.

 

However, Power BI app is designed so that you can only view and refresh the data and not touch any underlying dataset or chart in it let alone modifying it.
