Hello,
I am finding recurring examples of PBI not saving my work upon opening the .PBIX file the next day. Given the experience, I am being very deliberate with my save efforts, but still cannot identify any correlation to the behavior or how to consistently work around it.
I have recently even started to 'Save As' as a *_TEMP.pbix file and then 'Save As' back to the original name. This does not appear to prevent the issue. Interestingly, if I follow the two 'Save As' steps by closing the file (no other actions between), I am still prompted if I want to save my work, which seems completely unexpected.
Save issue occurs in all scenarios, including not applying changes, applying changes, posting to PBI Server, not posting, etc.
Any thoughts or suggestions for troubleshooting or avoiding? It is painful to regularly have to repeat my work (if I can remember it all).
Thank you.
Thank you Allison and Lionel for your input.
To answer some of the questions:
The other precaution I came up with was publishing daily to a workspace. While I have not attempted recovery of the published PBIX file yet, this theoretically ensures I don't lose more work.
Haven't lost work recently, but don't believe any of these suggestions have are a resolution.
I welcome more thoughts or suggestions.

It sounds like there is a problem with your Power BI Desktop client, what's your version?
