ALM toolkit cant detect the Visuals change in the report

[Thor2022]

Hi All 

I am trying to implement an ALM solution for my small team .. 

By testing the tool, I found that it can detect the changes in measures like creating or deleting but it does not detect changes in visuals or tabs level, meaning that if I add a new visual or tab, the ALM compare function can't detect any change .. 

I think I am doing something wrong !!! 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Thor2022 ,

ALM Toolkit is not capable of doing schema compare and metadata merging for the visual layer. It will not transfer changes made to your reports to a master file. This is another reason why it is a good practice to separate the visual layer (the report) and the model in different .PBIX-files following a front-end/back-end approach.
