Actually, the only place where the guid id needs to be incremented is in the pbiviz.jons file:

  "guid": "D3JSVisual_PBI_CV_CDD143DEC3A145E7A507B562AF6CF492",
  "visualClassName": "D3JSVisual",
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "description": "",
},
"apiVersion": "1.11.0"
}
 
Then when you run 'pbiviz package', the new guid is used.
