Source control , version control of a report template

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We would like to version controll the template file (PBIT) generated by Power BI Desktop tool. We would like to treat the PBIT file with same seriousness as we would do to a code file (e.g. RDL file in SSRS)

At the moment, the template file is generated only when we chose the Export menu option. This works, however the output template file is a binary file and not human reasable.

Is there any possibility that Power BI will introduce a simpler XML structure as was the case with SQL Server Reporting Services file (RDL) ?

Thanks,

Sau
