Publishing Reports

Lesson in the Power BI Roadmap · Stage 17: Publishing & Sharing

Last updated 14 September 2026

What is Publishing Reports?

Publishing a report uploads it from Power BI Desktop to a chosen workspace in the Service, making the report and its underlying dataset available in the cloud. Once published, the report can be shared, scheduled for refresh, and viewed through a browser without needing Desktop installed. Any changes made in Desktop need to be republished to update the version in the Service.
