Where specifically is the Archived Workspace

Hello

 

I was looking through what specifically is the Archived Workspace in PowerBi and I could not find a place that explicitly says that this is the Archived Workspace. I know on the left navigation it has Workspace and My Workspace but no Archived Workspace. I have the free version of PowerBi and can publish to a public URL for the reports but wanted to know the best method to save the report for quarterly purposes. I know you can save the pbi file and rename each time but was wondering if there was a more efficient way.

Hello Herbert,

 

I apologize as I may sound dense but was wondering that if theres anything listed in the My Workspace is going to considered Archived Workspace. I have reports that I need to run quarterly off the Power Bi and to save them I would need to save the actual Power Bi working file that I have been using on my desktop version and rename it.

 

If could read through the summary below to make sure it is accurate when its comes to Power Bi. 

 

I added data to Power Bi Desktop by linking to a O365 SP list. I created the reports in Power Bi and published to O365 Power Bi and the reports are in 'My Workspace'. I have published to web the reports from O365 Power Bi. If I want to archive the current Power Bi report, I would need to save the pbix file and rename is accordingly. I was able to delete the report in the My Workspace>Reports section and the published report was unable to pull data, but when i reopened up the original pbix file on desktop and published to O365 I was able to publish the report again. 

 

Is the above all accurate? Also just to reiterate, the best way to archive a current report or take a snapshot of the repot is to save the pbix working file at that time the reports were created and do not refresh.

Maybe you have misunderstanding about the archived workspace. Please refer to this document for details.

If you want to save the report quarterly, you need to save the PBIX file and rename it.
