    Now that we have pbit files to help create new pbix files quickly it would be great to be able to automate this process.

    Perhaps we could have some Powershell commands that would allow you to pass the needed parameters and output a new pbix file.

    I agree. I'd like to see the ability to publish .pbit files to the service along with visible template comments!

    This feature is badly needed for compliance and source control. We don't want to checkin the pbix with data owing to compliance.

    I don't know Powershell, I myself had VBA in mind but the same idea.

    This feature would seem to impact any Power BI customer that has more than just a few reports.

    This is badly needed. Please Microsoft this should be implemented
