Paginated Report + Power BI Semantic Model: Deployment Pipeline differences between Dev and Prod

My understanding is that, at the moment, Power BI does not provide a native way to manage Paginated Reports across multiple environments (for example, Dev → Test → Prod) where the same report can dynamically adapt based on the target environment.

Because of this limitation, there is no straightforward mechanism to deploy a Paginated Report once and simply switch its environment-specific configuration during promotion through the deployment pipeline.

As a result, the approach I adopted was in the Development workspace, instead of duplicating or redeploying the report, I repointed the report to reference the Paginated Report hosted in Production.

While this is not ideal from an environment-isolation perspective, it was the most practical solution given the current platform constraints and ensured consistency of the report definition across environments.
