hi  Anonymous 

First, you should know that you could only modify the model in power bi desktop.

Second, for your case, you could download the report and update the model in power bi desktop, then republish it to servicer again.

By the way, you could also build a mobile layout in power bi desktop too.

    Thank you Lin.  Yes, I didn't write clearly enough - I know that I can only modify the data model in Desktop.  

     

    Thanks to you and rainer1 for sharing the process to getting web updates back to my desktop version.  Basically, I download the PBIX file and replace.

     

    Thanks for the quick responses.
