hi Anonymous - Sorry for the late response; I would recommend an simpler approach would be to re-copy the reports to other workspaces from the base workspace.
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!
Sorry for the late response I have been OOO. Ok so today I removed all the copied reports and started back over by haveing the same report in multiple workspaces... nothing is linked anymore. What is the proper and best way to share the dataset, but also be able to have any visual changes updated as well acroos these reports?
I would ask - is the intent for users to edit the copied versions of the report? I am trying to understand why reports are being copied into other workspaces and not shared.
If the intent is to have them take a copy and then make visual updates to it- then in no circumstance will any visual updates made in the original report flow into the copies. Power BI will not be able to sync visual chnages done in the main report with changes done in the copied version.
If the intent is not for them to make updates then instaed of copy, you should only share the report.
No, I have mulitiple Apps/Workspaces that use the same report, data set and visuals. I want to be able to update the visuals in the main report, but alos flow over to the other reports on the workspaces that are the exact same. When I make a change in the main report and publish it would advise it was also publishing in the other apps (that were linked), but the visuals never chnaged. I unlinked everythingand now im starting fresh. When I make visual chnages now I have to repulish it to all the apps/workspaces seperate.
