Deployment Pipeline Can't Perform Comparison

Good Afternoon All, 

 

I have been having issues with deploying content through a deployment pipeline, have never had issues with this workspace for the past 4 months. 

 

When deploying things from stage 1 to stage 2 (Dev to Test environments) the comparison and deployment works absolutely fine. However, when trying to deploy from stage 2 to stage 3 (Test to Live/Production) the comparison will not load and displays the error message in the below screenshot "Stage can't perform a comparison". After a few refreshes and waiting it will display that all content is different (even though only 1 item is) and it will eventually correctly compare after more refreshing. Have there been service problems today?

 

 

Need Help

    So weird, I have a pipeline that was working fine on Friday and today is doing the same thing. Did you get a resolution?

    This is happening to me as well between my dev and test spaces , no amount of refreshing the page or unassigning reassinging the workspace have helped, it never lets the comparison occur

    I'm having the exact same problem, out of nowhere Pipeline is not letting me compare between QA and Production on either the Old or New UI. Did you find a way to resolve the problem?

      Hi, 

       

      My deployment issues have not been as bad since (although I have only deployed a couple of things since) but I do still get false comparisons appearing that then correct themselves on a refresh. It has only been since the new UI change that these issues have occured, have any other threads been raised on this with answers?

        I was not able to find any other open threads, did you apply any steps to resolve it or it was fixed automatically?

      I opened a case with Microsoft, they are releasing a fix on all PowerBi Clusters, starting tomorrow...your cluster should get resolved in the next couple of days.

        We are seeing this problem and refreshing / waiting is not helping. We started seeing the issue on 7/10/25 which is monthly release day so it seems like a bug has been introduced. Any support from MS would be great.

    This is also happening for me today. Usually few minutes waiting on the page helps. But the UX is horrible.

    Refresh the comparison page repeatedly

    Sometimes it takes several tries before the comparison syncs correctly.

     

    Clear browser cache or use incognito mode

    This prevents stale tokens or sessions from causing UI errors.
