@Anonymous , If it is not a web app. You will have a download the option. Download pbix.

But why the web version is erroring, what is the error.

It says that Power BI cannot read application meta data and ask try again.

The below is the copy from the message.

Hi @Anonymous ,

The issue could happen when there are some firewall/proxy network issues. Please try loading it on a different machine and see if it works.

It seems that newly installed software cause the issue. It could be worked around by using the Chrome browser to access Power BI reports. It is working now and I'm waiting for a permanent fix. Thank you for your support.

You can't merge them. You must select one of them. You can download the web version from the web menu (download pbix). If there are report differences, you can cut and paste visuals between reports (visuals, not pages). You can also select all visuals on a page and paste on a new page in the other report. If there are model/measure differences, you can use tabular editor to copy between files.
