Add native Dev/Test/UAT/Prod semantic model comparison + formal change log in Power BI/Fabric.
Today, semantic model version history helps restore snapshots for a single semantic model, but it doesn’t provide an environment‑to‑environment diff or reconciliation report.
Customers need an automated compare/diff view (tables/measures/relationships/RLS) across environments to safely replicate PROD changes into UAT and audit “who changed what”.
Request: extend/version history & deployment experience to include cross‑environment change tracking and comparisons (not just per‑model snapshots).

The semantic model schema (TMDL) is actually pretty good for text diffing.
We maintain ours in git with an appropriate branch structure.
You can use various tools to extract/upload to the service (I use pbi-tools https://pbi.tools/ )
It would be helpful to guide people into decent dev practices if powerbi could present a UI to integrate git for its intended purposes - branch/diff/merge - rather than just being a glorified backup.
We live in hope for the report layout schema to ever be useful ... !
