Step 8: Republishing the Dashboard After Receiving an Updated PBIX File

If I provide you with an updated PBIX file (due to dashboard changes), you’ll need to follow these steps to re-publish it and ensure the public link reflects the latest version.

Step 1: Re-upload the New PBIX File to Power BI Service

1. Go to https://app.powerbi.com.

2. Navigate to My Workspace.

3. Click Import a file > From this device.

4. Select the updated PBIX file provided and re-upload it.

⚠️ This will overwrite the previous PBIX file with the new version.

Step 2: Apply the Changes Inside the Report

1. Inside My Workspace, click on the existing Report (the visual report, not the PBIX file or Dataset).

2. Click Edit (top-right corner).

3. Then click Save immediately (even if you don’t make manual edits).

   
   

💡 Why this step?This ensures that Power BI applies the latest changes from the new PBIX file, so users accessing the public link will see the updated dashboard.

✅ Done!

Your public link now reflects the latest version of the report.
