Swtiching Datasource (Data Connection)

I have a scenario where I am creating multiple dashboards (against my own DB) as a "bundle", which I then want to share with multiple clients, all of whom have their own, separate, PBI sites and data...

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Would you like to send the report to the client but without detailed data? and when client open it the connection should be changed to their own database?

     

    I think you could try to generate the power bi template file and share it with client.  They can only see the report visuals but without detailed data info, when they connect to their own database , the report will be rendering as yours.

     

    Official document could be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-templates

    How will they change the connection easily ?  

    Is there a way to change the connection in one place (like a connection string of old days) for the entire PBIX ?
