Easy way to automatically update Power BI App?

Is there now an easy way how to automatically update Power BI App after we made changes to a report/semantic model, without having to manually press the button Update App?
I searched the past posts and found the REST APIs solution, but that is not really an option for us, since we dont have easy access to Azure Active Directory, dont have experience with scripting etc...

@KaterinaB ,

 

As long as what I know, you need to update it manually if its not with api.

Thanks for Idrissshatila's concern about this issue.

 

Hi, @KaterinaB 

As Idrissshatila said, currently, Power BI does not have built-in functionality to automatically update the App after a report or semantic model change.

 

You still need to manually update the App if it's not with api when you make structural changes to a report or model. For example, adding new visuals, modifying existing visuals, or changing the structure of a dataset.

 

However, if you just refresh the data, the App automatically updates the data without the need to press the Update button.

 

You can refer to this post, hope it helps you:

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
