DO NOT CONVERT my Workspace to Fabric Free Trial WITHOUT a confirmation!

Submitted by Super User on ‎05-07-2026 11:06 AM

I am working on a Workspace that is Power BI PRO. The client is NOT going with Fabric. I am building a Semantic Model in the workspace. I see under the Refresh drop-down, an option for "Create advanced refresh (preview)" and figured I would give it a shot. What happened when I selected that option was that it IMMEDIATELY signed me up for a Fabric Free Trial and moved my workspace over. (Plus it hosed the in-proecess refresh of my semantic model). There was no option to CONFIRM OR DENY the upgrade to Fabric Free Trial.

Please put in some type of confirmation so the user must ACCEPT that A) They will be signed up for a Fabric Free Trial and B) Their workspace will be move over to that trial.

 

Horribly experience!

This is a persistent problem in Power BI. I've had users contact me before convinced something will break because the UI tricked them into signing up for a PPU trial, then they got dire warnings about the expiry - even though they had no need for it in the first place! Just one more reason to hesitate recommending Power BI. This was a similar situation - the call to action that signed you up for the trial was something like "find out more", not "sign up now". It's not OK to mislead users just to juice some metric about trial signups.
