Magpie_Rob,

While reading your response, one thing comes to my mind.

While I said the URL doesn't change, what I really meant is the AppID part of the URL doesn't change, so the home page of the App so to say. I didn't mention that explicitly. Let me explain:

The URL of an App is made up of several parts:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps/AppID/reports/ReportID/ReportSectionSectionID

  • The AppID never changes (IMHO)
  • Both the ReportID and SectionID can change, depending on what reports you add/delete

Hope this helps.
