Advocate IVUpgrading to new workspace
Hi all,
I'm interested in using the shared datasets across workspace feature, however I understand that all workspaces involved need to be the new version. I assumed there would be a way I could auto-upgrade my workspaces (without taking everything down and re-creating) since it was said this would be available soon after GA (which was in early April). It appears though this still isn't the case. Am I just missing something? And does anyone know if this feature is on the horizon at all? Thanks!!

I created a ticket last week with the question when we could expect the upgrade possibility, and got the following answer:
---
Unfortunately we do not have ETA as of now. I would request you to vote for an idea in the ideas forum below.
---
They also provided a Powershell script to copy workspace contents to another workspace, see link below. Unfortunately this is not a solution for me, because the script does not seem to copy dataflows.

Thanks I just voted for this! And I'll check out that PS script too...not ideal, but it might work for some of ours.

Hi Nexter ,
From the document:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/april19/business-intelligence/power-bi-service/workspace-upgrade, Now, we are enabling upgrade of existing classic workspaces to become new workspaces. Workspace and Power BI Admins will be able to opt in to upgrade their workspaces on demand.
At a later time, Power BI will require the upgrade of classic workspaces to the new workspace experience. This will not start until after all classic workspaces can be upgraded through opt-in.
Best Regards,
Amy

NexterThanks Amy, but it doesn't actually say how to upgrade. I went through the admin panel/tenent settings, went through all of the workspace options...I just don't see anywhere to actually upgrade.
