Is it possible to make a copy of a report which automatically changes when source report is changed?

As the title implies. Is it possible to make a report in one workspace, copy it to another, then when the original report is changed (visuals and features added/removed, layout changed, etc.) the copy automatically updates to be exactly the same as the original. 

 

The purpose of this is to share the same report with different groups of people without having to update all the copies of the report, or make new copies. 

 

Best regards, Øyvinn

So if the change is in Model, since all copies access the same model they all will reflect the change. 

For example a new column, new measure etc .

However the copy itself is physical and not by reference and hence any visual change will not be reflected on the copy. 

Its best advised that you sperate out model from your pbix and make the pbix live connected to the Dataset. That way all you would need to do is deploy from local to all the workspaces you wish and all would run connected to same dataset without you having to copy over to another workspace.
