Hi TomMartens , Thank you for your response! I am not embedding the app or the dashboard. I'm only having my managers view the apps in PowerBI apps. So they can see five different dashboards in one place. 

 

I am making the changes in powerBI desktop and publishing it in a workspace in Sharepoint. I did update the app like you mentioned but it didn't take the changes into account. I did only some minor updates, like change the Y axis range. 

"if you change the visual from column to bar, this change will not be considered if you only update the app." Why wouldn't it update with this change?? And how can I get it to change?

      Hello,

      Do you mean we need to update the app each time we publish a report in a workspace ?

        That's been my experience, yes.  No idea what in the world the accepted answer in this thread is talking about; in my experience, the real answer is that you need to click "Update app" each time you upload an update to a report that the app includes
