    Hi samfromlv 


    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
     

    Currently, Power BI Desktop does not support live reload or auto-merge of PBIP file changes from external sources while the PBIP project is open. This limitation can lead to:

    • Conflicts between what Power BI Desktop has in memory versus what is on disk
    • Risk of unintentionally overwriting others’ changes.


    For future improvements, we suggest submitting this as a feature request in the Power BI Ideas Forum to bring it to Microsoft's attention.

    Fabric Ideas - Microsoft Fabric Community

     

    You can submit the following suggestion:

    Support for auto-reload or change detection of PBIP file components when updated externally, similar  to Visual Studio’s behavior.
