Hi Anonymous
Power BI Service doesn't auto-update reports from SharePoint/OneDrive changes, but you have options:
- Scheduled Data Refresh: Automatically refreshes the dataset, not report visuals/structure.
- OneDrive Integration: Save the PBIX file on OneDrive/SharePoint, and Power BI can detect changes (updates need manual refresh in the Service).
- Automation: Use Power Automate or Power BI REST API to auto-republish PBIX files after updates.
For full automation, you'd need to set up Power Automate or REST API workflows. Let me know if you need help!

Hi Anonymous - Yes, Power BI can connect to a SharePoint site and allow for files hosted there to update automatically in Power BI Service. but power bi service cannot automatically detect changes to visuals or layouts in the report. You’ll need to republish the .pbix file for such updates.
