Thanks for you input, Ankit.

 

I'm not aware of the report being republished, but I suppose that could be a possibilty.  Is there a way to see the timestamp for when a report is published?

 

Thanks!

Hi AUaero I checked with a few members of the Power BI product team and the general belief is that deleting and recreating the report should be the only way that the GUID would be changed. Updating/republishing the report should retain the original GUID.

 

A timestamp would definitely be very helpful in this situation to determine if someone else may have recreated the report URL.

 

Thanks,

    Same problem just happened to me. I added a tab/new page, republished, and the ID changed, rendering all of my filtered links useless. Could it be something with adding a new page, perhaps?

     

    Additionally: To be thorough in describing the conditions that led to the problem, I also recently enabled the new navigation (preview) interface.

      Any solution to this? We are updating reports and adding glossary pages and our url's are changing.
