You created a Power BI Desktop file named SalesAnalysis.pbix and published it to a workspace named Finance. The workspace now contains the SalesAnalysis dataset and report, and several dashboard tiles are pinned to the report visuals. After adding new measures in Desktop, you need to update the existing dataset and report in the Finance workspace while ensuring that the dashboard tiles continue to function. Which action should you take?
Publish the updated SalesAnalysis.pbix from Power BI Desktop to the Finance workspace using the same file name.
Save the updated file to OneDrive for Business and create a new Power BI report that connects to it.
Use Get data > Files in the Power BI service to import the updated SalesAnalysis.pbix as a new report.
Delete the existing SalesAnalysis dataset and report in the workspace, then publish the updated file.
Publishing the updated .pbix file from Power BI Desktop to the same workspace with the same file name replaces the existing dataset and report in the service. Power BI keeps the item GUIDs unchanged, so any dashboards or reports that rely on those objects continue to work without further configuration. Uploading or importing the file through the service, deleting and republishing, or using a OneDrive-connected file would all create new objects, breaking existing links or requiring re-pinning of tiles.
