Hi @Bakhtawar ,

"I want to ask that when first time when i publish power bi desktop to web .. and then from cloud when i finally use publish to web option then dashboard publish succesffuly and link generated"

Is the "Publish" feature you said  "Publish to Web" in Power BI Service?

how i use data gateway for automaically applied changes ? @Tahreem24 @v-lionel-msft 

@Bakhtawar ,

 

Whenever you made any changes and publish it to PBI Service so with Pro License you'll able to see the changes on that spot but if you are using Publish to web option so it will take one hour to reflect those changes. (Refer below screen shot and also again I attached Link for more details on Publish to Web Option)

@Bakhtawar ,

 

Answer to your first question:  That links dont expire unless you manually delete or disable it.

Answer to your Second question: That Publish to Web Link takes approx. one hour to reflect ay changes.

Answer to your Second question: If you use Data Gateway for automatic schedule refresh so you dont need to update it manually.
