Question

Your team maintains a Power BI workspace named 'Sales Analytics Prod' that already contains published reports and semantic models used by hundreds of users. You want to introduce a structured release process using a deployment pipeline with Development, Test, and Production stages, without disrupting the existing content or its consumers. What is the correct approach to bring the existing production workspace into a deployment pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Create a new deployment pipeline and assign the existing 'Sales Analytics Prod' workspace to the Production stage, then deploy backward to populate Test and Development.

Answer

Delete the existing workspace, create three new workspaces, and re-import all content into the Development stage before deploying forward.

Answer

Assign the existing 'Sales Analytics Prod' workspace to the Development stage and let the pipeline automatically move it to Production.

Answer

Publish the existing content directly into the pipeline without assigning any workspace to a stage.
