Report not showing changes after deployment
Hello JanSch ,
Thank you for reaching out to Micorosoft Fabric Community Forum.
Deku rajendraongole1 Thank you for your quick responses.
JanSch since you’re opening the report directly in the workspace and the publish process says it succeeded—but the changes don’t appear—here are a few things to check:
- If your report is using a live connection to a dataset, sometimes changes (like new pages or images) don’t publish correctly. The dataset stays linked, but the visual updates don’t come through properly.
- After publishing, check if a duplicate report was created (e.g., with a "(1)" at the end).See if the "last modified" date on the report updates after publishing—it might not actually be overwriting.
- If you're an admin or have help from one, you can use Microsoft’s audit logs to see exactly when and by whom the report was published. That helps confirm if the publish really happened.
You manage Power BI audit logs in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. The Audit logs tab provides a link to the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. To learn more, see Track user activities in Power BI.

- As a last resort (if safe to do), delete the report from the workspace and publish it again. This often clears up the issue if overwriting silently fails.

Try clearing your browsers cache or log out and back in again.
If you are looking at the report in a app rather than in the workspace, you will need to update the app for the changes to be reflected
Thanks for your ideas Deku
Browser cache was cleared and additionally tested on a different machine.
I opened the report directly from the workspace, so it shouldn't be an app-related problem.
Any ideas how track deployments (logs?) from Power BI Dekstop into Fabric Workspace?

Sorry for my late response.
I tried 1 and 2 without success. Now I'm waiting for an admin to check the audit logs.
I still try to avoid the last resort of delete and republish, due to existing user permissions.
