Update Color, Title, Background on Dashboard

I can create visualizations on a report and then change the color, title and other properties of visualizations.

 

I can then pin these visualizations on dashboard. Can I update the color, title, background on dashboard (not on report) after pinning?

 

The problem is that I am building the report and don't wanna anyone to update this report to avoid conflicts. The other guy who is working on the dashboard part wanna to change color, background, titles etc.

 

Is it possible in Power BI to allow one to be working on report/desktop side and another guy to work on pinning visualizations on dashboard and then change color, title,etc. of visualizations in dashboard without changing anything in the report?

 

The problem is conflicts that occur when 2 or more guy change the report at the same time.

    If you have edit rights on the Dashboard you can edit the Dashboard Theme. Creating a Custom themes allows you limited control of the Dashboard look and feel. You can change the background image or color, tile background color, tile font color and tile opacity. You cannot change the colors used in the visualisations, the colors on a bar or pie chart are fixed by the Report and not configurable on a Dashboard.

    Hope this helps
