Share power bi settings with another users

[jaryszek]

Hi Guys,

I have specific set up in power BI Desktop for my user. Like ignore native queries or setting specific privacy levels. 
I want to share them with another developers.

How to do this?
Best,

Hi @jaryszek ,

Thank you @BhavinVyas3003  for your solution,
Like saving Power BI content as a pbix file, you can save Power BI template files with a pbit extension. Templates allow you to save the development content of your work, the difference being the template file contains an empty dataset, you don’t retain any imported data. You can share template files for free with colleagues. Again, this approach should be avoided to distribute content to self-service end-users to avoid having to support many versions. In addition to it, you can refer the below documents to create .PBIT Template.

Hi,

I haven’t tried sharing Power BI Desktop settings myself, but I came across something that might help.

Create a .PBIT template - This save most of the settings in the file and can be shared with others.

Share a checklist or screenshots - Just go to File > Options, note down your settings, and share them with your team.

(Advanced) Some people talk about exporting Power BI registry settings, but I haven’t tried that and would be careful with it.

Thanks,

Bhavin

Hi @jaryszek ,

If you're looking for a more standardized approach, you might consider converting your  .PBIP file into a .PBIT template for sharing, though this would exclude the project-specific metadata.
Also with Git integration, you can collaborate with others or work alone using Git branches.

Thank you. How this would work? After converting bpip into bpit user will get settings for current project? But how to convert it to bpip once again and not loose the settings?

HI @jaryszek ,

When you are using .PBIP  to preserve and share Power BI Desktop settings like privacy levels and native query prompts.

You can share the PBIP folder via Git or zip it up.

Use .PBIP, Put the entire folder under source control like Git, Other developers can clone or pull the repo.

While adding .pbip projects into a Git repo, you can structure your collaboration.
