    Hi automate2create 

    Unfortunatly without the use of piplines and Git (Premium feature) there is no way to recuperate what is deleted or overwritten. 

    To avoid this case from happening again under Por licenses I would recommend :

    • Create 3 Workspaces :
      • 1 for Dev and test, It contains Datasets and reports
      • 1 for Prod, it contains Thin reports only (Publish the report without Dataset on Live connection mode)
      • 1 for Dataset_Prod, It can contain the Report of Prod if you want as last version
    • Create the App from WS_Prod(Thin report)
    • Add end users to the Audiences of the App
    • Give access permission as viewer to end users directly on the Dataset_Prod(Not the workspace)
