Hi shera276,

Based on my test, the above two functionalities are not supported by Power BI Report Server right now. For any feature request, you could submit ideas at this page, if it is mentioned by many users, our product team will consider adding it to future release.

With regards to themes. We prepared a "template" PBIX in the regular version of desktop with our comapny colour scheme loaded in and applied. No data sources but a couple of company logos and some text boxes with the right font, colours and type sizes.

This file opened in the SSRS PBI Desktop app and all the colour information works fine.

So you can carry some theme elements to SSRS based PBI Desktop.

With regards to version control in Report Server, We usually download a PBIX from the report server, rename the existing one to indicate the version and then after amending the version we have open save it over the top. We also keep most of our PBIX files in our TFS repo alongside our DB, SSIS, SSRS and other projects.

Not perfect but both workable workarounds

regards

Steve
