Saving pbix locally

Hi,

 

I created two reports locally using power bi desktop. I uploaded it to my workspace and I made changes to the report through the web version of power bi and saved it. Is there a way for me to save the newly updated report locally?

@minh23tran Unfortunately not possible currently. There is no way currently to have report saved from service to desktop.

@minh23tran There is no way you can make changes to local Power BI Desktop file from the web version (Power BI Online Service).

But you can surely try vice versa i.e. making changes to report in local file and publishing the same to Online service. Hope this works !
