We currently have the standard PBI licenses.

 

That is what I suspected, thank you for the information.

 

I'm still wondering, is it possible that I only upgrade my license, and my employee's license to pro while keeping all of our other users license standard? Would this still allow us to create a workspace to publish to and overwrite eachother's files, while still allowing our existing standard users to consume reports / dashboards the way that they currently do?

Hi bdpetersen10,

Yes, we can get Pro license individually. You can refer to this article: Purchasing Power BI Pro as an individual.

Assume you and your employee both have Pro license, and have edit permission in the Group workspace. Both you two guys can modify the content in this workspace, include overwrite the report.

 

But as other users doesn't have Pro license and group workspace content requires Pro license, once you and your employee share the dashboard with other users, they can't access the dashboard.
