Package Refresh (File Level) Description
A package refresh synchronizes a .pbix or .xlsx file in the Power BI service from OneDrive or SharePoint Online. It does not run a data refresh from the underlying source data—it only copies the dataset out of the file and into the Power BI service. It also reflects any changes made to the reports in the .pbix file. How Refresh Is Handled
File-level refreshes are handled automatically by the Power BI service, approximately every 1 hour.
Cached Tile Refresh Description
Dashboard tiles display cached data, to ensure performance is optimal. The cached tile refresh updates the cached data displayed by dashboard tiles. This is useful after a data refresh has occurred to bring the dashboard tiles up to date. How Refresh Is Handled
There are several options for refreshing cached tiles.
Automatically by the Power BI service:
• After data refresh for imported datasets
• Approximately every 1 hour (or as specified in the dataset properties) for DirectQuery and live connections datasets
Manually:
• Refresh option from the menu
