Question

Your analytics team maintains several Power BI reports and semantic models in a Fabric workspace. Leadership wants full version history, the ability to review changes through pull requests, and text-based diffs of model and report definitions before changes are merged. You need to recommend how developers should structure and store their work to meet these requirements with the least ongoing manual effort. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Save the work as Power BI Desktop projects (.pbip) and connect the Fabric workspace to a Git repository so item definitions sync as source files.

Answer

Have developers save reports as .pbix files to a shared network drive and manually upload new versions to the workspace after each change.

Answer

Distribute the semantic models as .pbit template files so each developer can regenerate the model from a fresh copy.

Answer

Use a Fabric deployment pipeline with Development, Test, and Production stages to promote content between environments.
