Updating the app publishes the new report page to its audience

Create and manage workspaces and assets

Short answer

B Updating the app republishes workspace content, shipping the new page to the existing audience.

Question

You have a Power BI app that contains a report named Report1. You add a new page to Report1. You need to ensure that users can view the new page. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you do?
  1. Update the audience in the app.
  2. Update the app. Correct Answer
  3. Update the contact information in the app.
  4. Unpublish and create a new app.

Key Takeaways

An app shows what was last published — adding content to the workspace means updating the app, which republishes the current workspace content (including the new page) to the existing audience in one action.

A new page added to Report1 inside a Power BI app must become visible to the app's users with the least administrative effort.

Common mistake: Recreating the app from scratch — unpublishing and rebuilding adds work and risks losing settings; the update flow exists precisely to avoid that.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Apps surface a published snapshot of workspace content. After adding the page to Report1 in the workspace, selecting Update the app (B) republishes the content to the app — the new page ships to the same audience in a single step, which is the minimum administrative effort the requirement asks for.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Updating the audience (A) reconfigures who receives which content — but the audience has not changed, so this neither publishes the page nor is necessary. Updating contact information (C) changes the support contact shown in the app and has no effect on content. Unpublishing and creating a new app (D) achieves visibility at the cost of rebuilding navigation, permissions, and audiences — the maximal-effort path where a single update suffices.

Community Comment Notes

A commenter reasons through the distractors: the audience is unchanged so A does nothing, contact info is irrelevant, and creating a new app repeats work unnecessarily — leaving update the app as the obvious minimal action. The vote is unanimous for B.

    Audience has not change so no effect in the current users. Similarly, updating contact information would no impact the content available to the app users. Option D could work as creating a new app replica (same content as original) would have same effect as simply updating the app.. but would not minimize administrative effort.
