Report not showing changes after deployment

[JanSch]

Hello Community,

i want to add a header-logo to an existing report. Unfortunately its not possible directly in power bi service. 

So I downloaded the pbix and opened it locally in Power BI Desktop and added the image (jpg/png). The image is shown. I also added a new sheet.

Afterwards I saved and published the report to the specific Workspace.

The Message says, deployment was successful. But when I open the report the image/new sheet were missing.

Can I track the deployments? With another report it worked fine. Only few reports didn't work.
My user is Workspace Admin. My license is ppu or pro.

Any ideas how to fix?

Hi @JanSch  - you are correct, currently, Power BI Service doesn't support editing to the level of adding images like logos, and your approach of using Power BI Desktop (PBIX) to add an image and new page is the correct method.If you're publishing a PBIX with the same name as an existing report, it should overwrite the report in the workspace.
However, sometimes Power BI creates a new dataset but doesn't update the report — especially if you had renamed the report or had multiple versions in that workspace earlier.

Use Deployment Pipelines (if you're on Power BI Premium or Fabric) to stage and promote changes — this provides version control and change tracking.

Hope the above information helps.

I deployed with the same name and the wizard asks me to override the existing report.

But it's not happening. None of the changes is getting to the report in fabric.
Dataset isn't touched, report is using a live connection.

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?

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

4. 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.

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.
