Servicing data model for PBIX in Power BI Embedded scenario

We have bunch of reports developed for PowerBI embedded that share same data model and use direct query. If I want to fix/add feature for the datamodel, how would I update all PBIX files without re-creating from scratch or do the same repetative changes in each file.

Need Help

    KKaki Power BI has template files which would be ideal for this type of scenarios so you change a template file once and create multiple pbix files from that template but I don't think template files are supported for Power BI Embedded yet. So without that you're only option unfortunately is to update each pbix file seperately.

      Thank you ankitpatira.

       

      I beleive templates helps creating a new report easily, but doesn't work for servicing existing reports.

       

      Any good practices or patterns how to service data model updates to mutliple reports that use same data model?
