    Hi Anonymous,

    Publishing it under a different name is certainly a good idea, as suggested by Anonymous  and lbendlin.

    Next to that, if you publish a (new or existing) dataset to the service, you have to set the credentials again, either via the gateway or otherwise, depending on the data source(s).

    So if you are using a gateway, you need to have access to the gateway connection to be able to do that.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Based on my test, repubilshing the downloaded report to the workspace after modification has no effect on the report and dataset.

 

If you want to be safe, you can also upload the modified report to other workspaces, keeping the original report and original data set.

 

Best Regards,
