1. Can I only publish a single App in my workspace?
- No, you can publish multiple apps from a single workspace. Each app can contain different reports, dashboards, and datasets from the workspace, allowing you to tailor the content to different audiences.

- No by default, apps are only available to users within your organization. However, Yes, you can share dashboards and reports with external users by inviting them to your tenant, or with b2b sharing.

3. Overall what is the use of Apps?
Purpose of Apps:
- Organize and Share: Apps allow you to package and distribute content (dashboards, reports) to other users in your organization.
- Read-only View: Users who access an app get a read-only view, ensuring the integrity of your data and reports.
- Ease of Access: Users can easily find and access the apps shared with them in the Apps section of Power BI.
- Version Control: When you update the content in the workspace, you can republish the app to ensure users always have the latest version.

3 years agoHello,
It looks to me that a Power BI Workspace can only have a single app.
This app can have multiple reports?
Is that correct?

Hi mikebi
Each Workspace can only have one APP, but inside the same APP you create multiple Audiences.
Each Audience is a combination of reports or report pages, which gives you the same functionality as having multiple Apps per workspace.
