Hello out there! I'm wondering what people have done to attach (internal) documentation to a workspace that's been shared with users.
The hack I will jokingly suggest is to create a pbix called "Don't README" and put RLS on it, but don't put any of the users on a role. So if they click on it, they don't see the data. And this is where I'd put my notes.
I'm only half-joking, since this might be what I end up doing. And if the workspace is accessed via an app, I can block this report from the app. Is that the best approach? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Amon

In workspace settings there's a description field, I often find this sufficient. Sometimes I create auditing report pages that I use for troubleshooting, I hide them so they only show in Power BI Desktop. Your idea of creating a separate report also has merit, I'd call it "Documentation" and only put the workspace admin(s) on an RLS role, if end users shouldn't see any of that documentation.

Thanks @otravers . I do use the description field for things that the users ought to see, and hidden report pages for notes specific to those items. I'm glad you think my joke has merit! I wonder if anyone else has any other ideas?
