There is nowhere you can see when a report was last published and by who. There is a last updated date above reports that stamps when a report is published or refreshed. If you have reports refreshing daily, there's no way to distinguish between when a report was last refreshed or when it was published with more material changes such as updates to data model, layout, filters etc.

This is a very basic auditing feature that would help teams get a better understanding of when they should consider trying to merge material updates into an existing report in the Service or when they are free to publish their own updates with the knowledge that the report has only been refreshed since they last downloaded the report from Service.

Was there ever any movement on this? This is an essential feature when collaborating on report builds, especially once auditors start giving feedback to the primary developer.

Some sort of version control would be great. You can turn this on in Sharepoint folders but not in Power BI Workspace? (Okay, data volumns could be an issue). But a history or when the current version was published would be very helpfull.

A very needed feature to help support IT and Business users with updates to reports.A general look at stats, like the old execution log of SSRS ReportServer Database. would be very helpful.
