Replace PBIX file in Embedded
We have gone through and built some sample web apps pointing to some sample PBIX files we loaded up into our Embedded Workspaces. We would like to replace the existing PBIX file we uploaded with a new one. How do we overwrite the existing and keep the same DataSet ID?
The scenario in the future would be that the user creates their reports in PBI Desktop and imports the data into the file. We publish to PBI embedded. At some point they want to change the file, add pages, visualization changes, refresh data, etc.. We don't want to change the App to reflect a new dataset id.
Any thoughts?
Based on my test, the report id doesn't change in a overwritten import, thus it won't affect the report embedded somewhere in your application.

There's an argument nameconfilict for PostImportWithFileAsync, and as per this github sample, the argument value "Overwrite" can be used to overwrite the already existing dataset.

Thanks that helps a bunch. Does that keep the ReportID the same as well?
