group workspace missing

[synergised]

We had several group workspaces setup with multiple dashboards under each one.  This morning they are all gone.  Anybody else having this issue?

Hi - I am not able to see the "Preview features" option in the General settings menu. I am using a Government tenant and having the same issue with the workspaces being gone suddenly. 

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi - I know for a fact I had the preview feature enabled but now its gone and so are all my workspaces. Even trying to upload from the power bi desktop app the workspaces are gone. I need help in getting them back? Dispite not even able to see any of my workspaces I cant manage my embedded codes, yet the links still work. Very weird.

Would really appreicate the assistance.

Even editing the url manually doesnt work and im concered with the following message

https://app.powerbi.com/groups/{MyGroupID}/contentlist/

Hi There, my delemia has been resolved.

In short. . 

Our internal I.T engineers decided to do some spring cleaning with regards to "distribution/security groups in O365". Apparently our company's sales team have been creating huge amounts of O365 Team groups and the I.T guys thought well this is starting to look messy, lets clean("remove") the groups and see who complains.

Thats what happened to all my workspaces, they deleted my groups and they had to do an azure powershell restore on the deleted groups. Lucky for me I could remember all my workspaces but if there is someone who cant remember they'll have to restore all the deleted groups, as there no referrences in power bi . You'll have to rely on memory. Note the deleted groups can be restored within 30 days of deletion.

This is a snip off the power bi website. . . 

How are app workspaces different from group workspaces?

With this release, we have renamed all group workspaces to app workspaces. You can publish an app from any of these workspaces. The functionality remains on par with group workspaces for the most part. Over the next few months, we plan on the following enhancements to app workspaces:

• Creating app workspaces won't create corresponding entities in Office 365 like group workspaces do. So you can create any number of app workspaces without worrying about different Office 365 groups being created behind the scenes (you can still use an Office 365 group’s OneDrive for Business to store your files).

At the time of this update, creating workspaces creates 0365 groups just like 0365 Teams so go knock on your I.T department's door until power bi advises further.

My workspaces are back and I'm happy again.

Apparently we are being forced in to using the new navigation.  This is the suggested workaround.
