Duplicate Workspace or copy multiple reports?

[TinyTV]

Hi,

This question has two parts - is there any way to copy or duplicate an entire workspace that I can use. I have a monthly pack created for December and want to make a copy for January. I haven't found anyway to do this, but have tried using content packs which doesn't seem to let me copy into a brand new app workspace.

Alternatively is there anyway to copy multiple reports into a new app workspace? Due to how it was built there are 6+ reports and I don't want to save each report to a new PBIX file and then reload this to a new workspace every month. 

Any options or suggestions would be very helpful!

Thanks

HI @TinyTV,

Current power bi not contains features to directly duplicate workspace at power bi service.

I'd like to suggest you follow below tutorial told about how to use PowerShell script achieve your requirement.

Duplicate workspaces using the Power BI REST APIs: a step-by-step tutorial

>>Due to how it was built there are 6+ reports and I don't want to save each report to a new PBIX file and then reload this to a new workspace every month. 

Can you please share more detail about these reports?(I check on rest api but haven't found any related functions)

If you means use refreshed reports to replace original reports, why don't you use scheduled refresh to instead replace?

In addition, you can also publish them as an app with specific reports.

Have you managed to copy workspace with REST APIs? I have an error while copying it. It copies everything, except tiles of dashboard and I cannot figure it out why. 

Any idea?
