We're having the same issue and I don't see how this is supposed to work in any large organization.

 

Let's say you have a content pack with one dataset A, users connect to the dataset and build a report RPT A based on dataset A. Then you decide to add a new dataset B to the same content pack. Uses now need to go Get Data and select the same content pack again to get the new dataset. Now the user will have two datasets A and one dataset B. They have no idea which of the two datasets A that the report RPT A was based on so they dare not delete any of the two. Now a third dataset C is added...users end up with AAA BB and C. 

 

How are you supposed to manage this over time?

    Does anyone from MSFT have a response to this?  I run our analytics and have 3 versions of the same data now.
