Refresh published report from power bi desktop

Hi All, 

 

So i have PBI Pro, and i have published a report to My Workspace.

However, when I make some change in the Desktop document, the change doesnt appear in the published report in my workspace.

I have tried refreshing data etc..

 

In summary, i want to be able to edit and make changes in the document on my desktop, and those changes appear in the published document, so then other people can see it, without having to re-publish it.
 

Is there any way to do so?

 

Thank you

    Hi danielcontente ，

    If you change the visuals of report in your local Desktop PBI file  , the visuals will not be automatically updated to the service .So you can only republish the pbix file to the service again.

    But if you change the data in data source (Google Analytics) , you can update the data automatically through data refresh without having to republish it .

      Hi Fowmy 

       

      Thanks for getting in touch.
      I have tried this solution, meaning the file is stored in One Drive, but still the changes dont sync with the published file, even after refreshed completed.

       

      Important notice that the data source is Google Analytics, and the credentials are entered correctly etc...

      Do you have any guess?

        Hope you read the article I shared. It updates after an hour, I think you tried in less than one hour. Also, your file has to be in OneDrive for Business.
