Hello,
We've got a few questions about how best to work with Power BI. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight, or possibly direct us to a roadmap that will help answer where Microsoft is going with Power BI.
Thanks,
Ken

- What is the recommended approach to source control? Our developers use git, but I'm not sure I want to introduce that to our power users. I've found some articles (example: http://www.desertislesql.com/wordpress1/?p=1482) that reference using Sharepoint/One Drive, but it seems that doesn't work with App Workspaces anymore?
- It looks like the only option for automated deployment is using UIAutomation.dll (or something similar) to refresh the .pbix (or, alternatively a .pbit) and then publish it to Power BI - either using the desktop client to publish or the API. Are there plans or a timeline for improving this?
- We create Data Sets in .pbix files and then connect to them as a Power BI Service. However, this doesn't appear to work across App Workspaces. This means we either need to track which workspace the file is deployed to, or have multiple copies of the file. Is there a better approach to this?
Thanks,
Ken
