Source / Version Control for PBIX files
edwardrmiles Well, I can speak to how it acts in VS 2015. (but I would imagine it works just as well in other versions)
Create a folder under a solution, add your PBIX files.
Double click on your PBIX file, and the Power BI Desktop opens.Make Changes, and the PBIX file acts like other VS objects and is marked as altered and must be checked back in.
edwardrmiles I don't know about other tools, but you could use Team Foundation Server (TFS) combined with Visual Studio to track and add comments to changes in a check in/ check out procedure.
Thanks Anonymous. Would you be able to explain how I can do that? I can't edit a PBIX file directly in Visual Studio (at least I don't think I can) so I'm not sure how would it work?

Thanks Anonymous, I'll give that a go
Hos os this going to help to determine the changes made from one version to the next? I am thinking on changes that could be made to the queries, transformations, visuals, etc, etc..
