Hi Alandwehr 

 

You are right, Changing the name of a Power BI workspace will not affect the published app associated with it. You can proceed with your workspace reorganization.

 

The continuity of the published app and its URL is maintained because Power BI identifies workspaces and apps using unique identifiers (GUIDs) in the backend. These GUIDs are assigned upon creation and remain static, even if you change the user-facing name of the workspace. The URL for your published app is tied to this  GUID, not the editable workspace name.
