Explanation
Workspaces are places to collaborate with colleagues to create collections of dashboards, reports, and paginated reports.
In the Power BI service, you can create an app that includes your dashboard, the report underneath, and the dataset. Then, you can share the app with people in your organization so they can reuse the artifacts. In the workspace list view, you can decide which dashboards and reports you want to be Included in-app.
Click on the workspace you published your Power BI Desktop report to, and select the Create app button in the upper right corner to start the process of creating and publishing an app from the workspace.
Note: You cannot publish an app from "My Workspace".
On Setup, fill in the name and description to help people find the app. You can set a theme colour to personalize it. You can also add a link to a support site.
Choose whether to distribute the app to specific people or to groups and then give the app a title. Provide a detailed description in the Description box so that people know what your app provides.
At the bottom of the dialog box, you can upload an image for the app and then select the dashboard to include in the app. When you publish, the app is added to the organization's content gallery.
Power BI imports the dashboards, reports, and datasets that are in the app.
When you select the dataset, Power BI asks if you want to personalize the app. Create a copy of the app that you can use to make changes and keep it disconnected from the published version of the app. By creating a copy, you won't automatically receive updates if the app creator makes changes to the published version of the app. You can edit the dashboard, the report, and even the dataset if you want.
Update apps
To edit an app that you created previously and see how other people use your app, start in the Power BI Service in My Workspace. Anytime that you make changes to the app you can click on Update app on the upper right-hand side of the screen. The Update app dialog box will open, you can make your changes and click Update app.
Power BI processes those changes and publishes the updated app to the app gallery. If the distribution list is large you may get a notification like the one below. Anyone who has connected to your app will receive a message that the app has changed, and they will have the option to accept the changes or to keep the older version. As the app owner, you can manage the versions that your colleagues are using.
A. The working area of a canvas in Power BI refers to the space where you design and arrange visualizations within a report or dashboard. A workspace, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the sharing and collaboration features within Power BI.
B. Designating the relationship between two tables in Power BI is typically done within the data modeling or data preparation stages of creating a report or dashboard. This task is not directly related to the purpose of a workspace, which focuses more on access control and collaboration.
C. A workspace in Power BI is used to define a set of colleagues who have access to specific dashboards, reports, and data. It allows you to control the sharing and collaboration of artifacts within a specific group of users.
D. While a workspace in Power BI does allow you to create a custom bundle of dashboards, reports, and data, its primary purpose is to manage access and collaboration among users rather than simply bundling artifacts together.
