Does Power BI Report Server include report versioning?

If a report is changed, is it possible to revert to a previous version in Power BI Report Server?

    Sorry TOK but that article talks about creating reports against a TFS/DevOps version control system (so you could run reports on the number of checkins and work items closed etc) it does not talk about versioning reports that are already deployed onto Power BI Report server. 

     

    Now you can definitely setup automated deployment pipelines so that when users check in to source control the report gets deployed to a production PBIRS instance, but that is typically more of a developer workflow, business users do not generally use source control systems or devops pipelines. 

     

    If I'm not mistaken I think that what pbiwork wants is to be able to rollback to a prior version if someone edits a pbix file and saves it back to the PBIRS server and currently there is no built-in support to be able to do this.
