Not able to see the old version option with the new Data Model feature of Power BI

[ribisht17]

Hi Community Team,

I am a bit confused about the access to the new Power BI Service feature that allows for data model version restoration. While I find this feature very useful, I am unable to access it with my Power BI Service Pro version. Is this feature only available for Premium Workspace and above?

Hi @ribisht17 

If you want to view Semantic model version history. You have to Consider following bullets.

• The semantic model must be in a Premium workspace.
• The semantic model must first be opened on the web or opened for Direct Lake live editing in Power BI Desktop before versions begin being captured for the model.
• The semantic model must have large semantic model storage format enabled. Semantic models are automatically converted to large semantic model storage format the first time they're opened in Editing mode in the web or when opening a Direct Lake model for live editing in Desktop.
• Users must have Write and Build permission on the semantic model to view and use version history.
• 

If you need more info please go through this Use semantic model version history (preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn official documentation

Thanks!
