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.

Publish online model from pbit template

Publishing from a pbix is a long process and not convenient when working with big datasets and multiple developpers (because of the size of the file). It would be easier to manage (backup history versions, etc.) if an online model could be updated from a pbit instead of a pbix model.

Export Power BI report template using PowerShell script

Export Power BI report as PBIT using PowerShell or C# to automate the process. Power BI is currently supporting manual process to export PBIT files. However, it is tedious process when you have 100s of reports scattered on multiple workspaces.

Create pbit model template from power bi online

When a user publishes an updated pbix model online, the source file is at risk of being lost. It would be useful to allow downloading a pbit file from a model in power bi online so another user could apply future updates to the model, without needing the source pbix file.
