Linked PBI reports in workspaces
hi Anonymous - If you have copied reports from one workspace to another then making changes to the parent report will not automatically reflect in the workspaces where the report was originally copied over to.
You can automate the publishing of reports to multiple workspaces using the Power BI REST API as mentioned in the documentation below:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/fr-fr/blog/upload-a-local-pbix-file-using-the-import-api/
Another point is that reports that are copied over to multiple workspace still share the same underlying data model so any data model or data changes will reflect in ALL reports BUT report level visual changes will not automatically reflect across all copied workspaces.
Please mark the above comment as a solution to help others find it more quickly. Also please provide a 👍 if my comment helped with solving your issue. Thanks!
Hey Anonymous thanks for the answer and link.... So with how it is setup now how would I go about updating the visuals on the other copied reports to the most recent changes in the main report?

hi Anonymous
To my knowledge, it couldn't achieve in power bi for now, since you have copied the report to another workspace, these copied reports are separate in different workspace, so any update in one report will not link to others, the only way is that you delete the copied reports and copy the main report to another workspace again.

Hi Anonymous as per my understanding you report share the same dataset... you can make use of shared dataset to avoid redundancy
Correct that use the same data set, but I redesigned the report and wasnt aware that the copied reports wouldnt take the new changes
