converting to powerplatform.dataflows

Hello,

I have an old dataflow that is using Source = PowerBI.Dataflows([IncludeGroups = false, SourceDataflowId = "lots of lettters and numbers"]), and I need to convert it to the new PowerPlatform.Dataflows([]) version. Can someone please explain what the options that are being used in the PowerBI version are doing? Or is there a list of those options for each version somewhere that I can't seem to find?

Full example of the old dataflow 

Source = PowerBI.Dataflows([IncludeGroups = false, SourceDataflowId = "3f5d716e-8ef7-434a-9497-xxxxxxxxxxxx"]),
#"Navigation 1" = Source{[workspaceId = "4ccd6c6f-a083-47c4-8fc1-xxxxxxxxxxxx"]}[Data],
#"Navigation 2" = #"Navigation 1"{[dataflowId = "bce97895-c91a-4dca-bff5-xxxxxxxxxxxx"]}[Data],

Thank you

I am not aware of any differences, apart from the limitation on "workspaces"  (whereas the other option can access dataflows in environments as well)
