    Hi raymond,

    If you're referring the switch added in Desktop's November release, it is used for testing packaged updates to custom visuals that are already published in AppSource, as Power BI always serves the published version of a known visual by default.

    This switch temporarily overrides that and allows developers to confirm new functionality is packaged correctly prior to submission.

    It is documented in the blog post, but here's the direct link to the article they link to. 

    Regards,

    Daniel
