Deleting Datasets/reports safely

[jofoster]

 I find cleaning up legacy datasets and reports very difficult in PowerBI.  Before deleting, I would like an easy way to see what report/dashbaord a dataset is being used, and from there the owner of that particular report/dashboard. What is the secet sauce to managing PowerBi assets within a workspace?  Thanks

Hi @jofoster 

It seems you may try to use auditing.Below are some articles for your reference.

This does not seem directly related to my post. I just want to be able to go in and manually navigate to some useful information to help me understand the relationahip of  a dataset to a report>Dashboard

Hi @jofoster 

In power bi,you may go to a dashboard.In the dashboard, you may use 'go to report' or 'view related' to check the related reports and datasets.
