How to alter published report without losing the connection to dashboards

Hi,

 

I created a report in PBI Desktop and published it in the cloud. Then I created some decent dashboards and published them. When I do some work on the report again in PBI Desktop (e.g. enhance something or add some content) I lose the connection to the dashboards; they will not update anymore.

 

Is there a chance to re-publish the report without the need of recreating the dashboards?

Thanks for your help, Andreas

Is there any chance to re-publish reports without the need of recreating the dashboards every time?

 

Thanks for your help, Andreas

@Derrick0815 Once you pin visuals to a dashboard, those are seperate entities (tiles). The tiles will still re-direct a user to your altered report, but if you've updated the visuals, those changes aren't automatically pushed to dashboard tiles.
