Unable to save pbix document

Hey All,

I had the same problem - very randomly: sametimes I was able to save the documents, on other days I was not able - no matter which folder path I selected to save the file (even local 'MyDocuments' folder did not work then).

However, I have now found out how I can prevent this error from happening. Maybe this works for you too?

When I download a pbix-file from BI Service to edit it in Power BI Desktop, I have two options:

I can either 'open it directly' or can 'save it' instead.

When I open it directly in Power BI, there is a very high chance that then I get the error when trying to save it.

So, I select now always 'save it' --> save the pbix-file to my Downloads-folder and then open it from there with Power BI Desktop. This way, I do no longer get the error when I I try to save my changes I made.

So, even if the 'open it directly' option does save the file in the background (in some temporary folders), it seems to make a difference.

Hope this helps
