Questions about reports and datasets in different workspaces

[IHam]

I have two workspaces with some of the same reports in them with the same name, my workspace and an app workspace. If I publish my new report X to my workspace, will it change it for both workspaces? (I appreciate in the app, if its a new graphic, it needs republishing). Will it change in my workspace if publish it to the app first?

What about scheduled refreshes? Will a scheduled refresh in my workspace refresh the same datset in the app workspace? What about the other way around?

Appreciate you expertise on this.

thanks

Reports have nothing to do with this. Datasets in different workspaces refresh independently in import mode.  However you can join them / chain them (as composite models) in which case the upstream dataset is treated as a Direct Query source and its meta data participates in the refresh.

Thanks, so when I publish the report to my workspace and it tells me that this "may impact 2 workspaces, 7 reports and 3 dashboards" this isn't the case and it only impacts the workspace I upload it to?

I mentioned the composite models. Your dataset is used in someone else's dataset as a source. Meta data changes in your dataset will affect them.
