Update Power BI App after changes made in report
Hi tomas12344 ,
There are 2 separate items here- refreshing the report dataset and making changes to the structure of the report.
When the dataset is refreshed, you do not need to update the app. The refreshed data will appear in the app automatically.
When you change the structure of the report (add, edit visuals, etc.), you do need to update the app. These changes will not appear in the app automatically.

Hi djurecic ,
Do you know whether it is possible to set an app to auto-update when a new version of a report is published?
Many thanks,
Dave
Not through the PBI service. You'd have to look at using the Power BI API which has some complexity to it. Here is more information if you want to try it:

Is this the case as well if you, for instance, just add a measure to the report? No changes to the visualsDo you still have to update the app?
Thankswhen you add a measure, now you just changed the semantic model the app is using, since that measure does not exist on the last published of the app, so yes, you need to republish the new dataset with that measure and the report as well, so it uses the measure, and the app, so it uses these new versions of the model and report. It is all interconnected, the schedule refresh just update the data behind the dataset, not the dataset in itself.
How to automate this app update process using Rest API. any detailed content?
