organizational content packs in new app workspaces

[Anonymous]

A couple of months ago I published an organizational content pack in my organization. Recently, I created a new workspace and tried the "new app workspace experience" which is in preview. In that workspace I seemingly cannot create a dataset from the content pack, simply because the "Organizational Content Pack" button does not appear when I click "Get Data". If I click on the button "My Organization", the workspace suddenly changed to "My Workspace" and only apps, not organizational content packs are reachable. 

I have tried to search for the content pack in the upper right search pane and it appears there. However, when I click it, it says "importing the dataset might take a couple of minutes" or something similar and then nothing happens. 

Can anybody help?

Hi andrmi,

As rose mentioned, in the new workspaces, you can't connect to organizational content packs, or third-party content packs such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, or Google Analytics. In the current workspaces you can connect to content packs.

That's incredibly stupid then. How to distribute a dataset in my organization then without manually uploading it to every workspace?

If it helps, I use Azure Analysis Services for this purpose.

Based on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-the-new-workspaces

Organistaional Content Packs are not supported.  Under the section Power BI Apps FAQ

"You can create an organizational content pack from a current app workspace. You can't create one from the new app workspaces.
You can consume an organizational content pack from a current app workspace. You can’t consume one from the new app workspaces."

Thanks!

But why not? Are there any substitutes for this? Or do I need to manually upload and configure refresh for the dataset each time I want it in a new workspace?
