URL Structure - ReportSection not in PowerBI Service URL anymore?

[TI-Michiel]

For years the URL structure for any PowerBI Service reports has been this:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/xxxx-5631-4xxxxd90-a263-xxxxxxxx/reports/xxxxxx-xxxx-4172-b433-0cb7c7...  

All of a sudden, we now have URL structure like:

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/xxxx-5631-4xxxxd90-a263-xxxxxxxx/reports/xxxxxx-xxxx-4172-b433-0cb7c7...

Its a minor change, but the mention of 'ReportSection' is gone. And thats breaking many things in the way we use PowerBi Service reports viewing them with a Service Principal. 

Things I have tried:

- When I manually add 'ReportSection' to the URL, unfortunately the URL is invalid. 

- I looked around for settings in the report, both in Service and Desktop, but I cannot find anything

- One page in a report has a URL with the 'old' structure (with ReportSection) but all other pages in the report dont have this. 

Is this a setting I can change? Can anyone help me with this?

I have run into the same issue In embeded content where it was having trouble. 
On some applications I have had to manually add ReportSection into the url before the page id 
Other times I have had to delete the page ID from the url and leaving the end blank or ending it with ReportSection 

Issue may also be from REST API calling on the wrong Page wether it is using Page[pagenumber] or PageID
Example

"/groups/[GroupID]/reports/[ReportID]/ReportSection[pageID]?experience=power-bi" 

"/groups/[GroupID]/reports/[ReportID]/ReportSection" 
"/groups/[GroupID]/reports/[ReportID]/ReportSection?experience=power-bi"  

"/groups/[GroupID]/reports/[ReportID]/ "

Hi @TI-Michiel 

Sometimes, changes in URL structure can be due to service updates. You can check the changelog for Power BI to see if there's a description of the change.
