Power BI App is not Updating when Reports have been updated

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have looked through the forum and it seems some folks have had the same issue but I have not seen a resolve. 

When I publish and update from my desktop Power BI to my reports, everything flows through and the report is updated where I have it shared, via powerbi.com and teams. However, the app does not update. I have physically go in and edit the app, then update. 

Is this the standard or shouldn't the app update since it is directly lynced to the report I am updating? 

Regards,

Nathan

Hello everyone,
Well i understand that for some cases it's useful, then for other cases it's annoying... is there no way to make the app update it's content automatically? 
I use the app as the way to acces all dashboard as they are, it's annoying to have to update the app if we want no difference between app & dashboards... Plus we share the app through there, the dashboard in other places so we have discrepancies...

Hi @Anonymous ,

Check this document.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-create-distribute-apps#change-your-published-app

As it says:

Make any changes you want to the dashboards or reports.

The workspace is your staging area, so your changes aren't live in the app until you publish again. This lets you make changes without affecting the published apps.

I believe that is the expected bahaviour in that you need to update your app if you want your consumers to see new content
