How to display the user that last modified the .pbix file?

Hopefully this is a bit of a silly question

 

I work with a few others making PBI reports, and sometimes I would work on lets say "test 1". Then someone else will also work on "test 1" after me.

 

After we each make our changes we may upload it into www.pbi.com for consumption

 

I was wondering is there anyway to display in a report page the "last modified by <user>"?

 

If there are any questions, I was hoping to just add a variable somewhere on the report page that shows "Last modified by <user> on <date>"

 

Any suggestions most appreciated

Hi @parry2k 

 

Thanks for the tip on using Sharepoint - This would help our workflow!

 

Not perfect as you mentioned this functionality doesnt exist in PBI but its acceptable 🙂

 

Also to note in case anyone else comes across this thread, another option is that in www.pbi.com by default there is a way to show the report owner and the last updated date as per the following link

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-reports#the-parts-of-a-report

 

Specifically section D

 

The Power BI banner displays the name of the report and the last updated date. Select the arrow to open a menu that also show the name of the report owner.
