Question

Can I roll back a deployment in Power BI if something goes wrong?
In the event that a deployment introduces issues or errors in reports or datasets, I need a strategy for safely rolling back changes to a previous state within the Power BI deployment pipeline. What are the available rollback options, and how can I implement them to ensure business continuity?

Answer 1

Although Power BI lacks a built-in rollback feature, you can still use these techniques:

Re-deploy from an earlier phase (e.g., Test → Prod).

Restore from a PBIX backup that has been saved.

To manage report versions, use version control software, such as Git or Azure DevOps.

Before deploying, clone workspaces or export content.

Best Practice: Before deploying to production, always version your PBIX files and test them in Dev/Test.
