Semantic Model View

Silly question.

 

Every dataset for my colleague is now showing as 'Semantic Model' but mine are still showing as 'Dataset'. We're both on the same update version. I assume that it'll be something that everyone will see eventually, but we're confused as to why they can see it and I can't.

 

Any ideas.

Hello @Atrac  & @Mat42 ,

 

it was announced yesterday that Datasets are being renamed to semantic models in Power BI and Fabric.

I am seeing this new distinction in my workspaces as well. I don't believe that every analyst is seeing the same thing either. Eager to learn what is happening

Sorry, I posted this then our projects both exploded and imploded at the same time.

 

It seems to be a tiered roll out. Most people in our org can now see Semantic Model.

As far as we can see, our preview features settings are identical.

@Mat42 , can you show me the preview feature please
