PowerBi Apps not updating
Hey dineshj ,
please excuse, but just for the proper wording.
Using Power BI Desltop you are creating a report, no matter how "dahboardy it may look like
You publish a report to a workspace.
Whenever you do this you have to update the app:
There is also some artifact called dashboard, but this artifact is created inside the Power BI service, Basically, a dashboard points to different visuals from one or more reports inside the same workplace.. Depending on how you created the dashboard and the nature of the changes of the "visual" sources, these changes will be picked up or not, e.g. if you change the visual from column to bar, this change will not be considered if you only update the app.
At the current moment embedding a Power BI Dashboard on a SharePoint Online site is not supported, only the artifact type report is supported.
You also have to make sure that you create the "Embed in SharePoint" link from the report after this report has been published to the app:
Hopefully, this provides some new ideas.

Tom
[before] So, there's no way to republish a report (PBI Desktop to PBI Service) and having the App from the workspace automatically updated?
[today answering myself] No. It's a way to test your report before it's ready for all consumers.
