A comprehensive version history or changelog feature for monitoring changes over time is not integrated into Power BI deployment pipelines. Tracking, however, can be put into practice with complementary methods and tools.
How to Continue Auditing and Monitor Changes:
Make Use of Workspace Activity Logs
Audit logs from Power BI Service document actions such as workspace changes, dataset refreshes, and report publishing.
These logs can be exported and examined to track changes.
Connect to Version Control Systems
To preserve file version history outside of Power BI, store PBIX files in Azure DevOps Repositories or Git.
To record changes, use commit messages.
Use the History & Comments of the Deployment Pipeline
Deployment pipelines enable the addition of comments during deployments and display the most recent deployment details.
This isn't a complete changelog, but it offers a lightweight one for each deployment.
Create a Unique Change Log Dashboard
Transparently track changes by combining version control metadata, deployment comments, and audit logs into a Power BI report.
Automate Approvals and Notifications
For audit trails, use Power Automate to record change details in a database or SharePoint and capture deployment events.
