.pbix version control

Hi!

 

Working on .pbix version control. Workflow should be something like that:
* download report .pbix file from PowerBI portal
* extract .pbix
* compare files to previous day files

 

Would it be possible to automate these steps? (e.g using powershell) Or are there other solutions?

There's no such version control feature in Power BI desktop. You can check this idea Dataset/Report Version Control and vote it up.

Also check those thread to see you can accept below workaround.

Source / Version Control for PBIX files

 

This currently works, but the UI isn't complete, and it's not production ready.
