Create multiple apps from same workspace infect from same Dataset without replicating the dataset multiple times. only option we have now is to update the app and only one app per workspace can be created which a kind of restrict the workspace usability. If we can create multiple apps share it with different users without creating multiple workspace ... means same dataset no dataset replication, will save the storage as well.

September 2024: Org apps as items are now in public preview - support for multiple apps per workspace, custom colors, and more: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/org-app-items/org-app-items
May 2024 update: We are working on creating a separate app as an artifact which will release in the coming months. thank you all for the feedback.
March 2022 update: we plan to have a private preview soon and hopefully release to the public in July

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Really excited to see this in production someday! It would really make Power BI the #1 BI tool of choice in my company!!
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
I fully buy in into that idea! Only being able to create one App per AppWorkspace is really disappointing in Scenarios where you'd like to serve a broad audience with different reporting needs (as I do have in front of me) - w/o creating redundancy of identical datasets, reports & dashboards accross several app workspaces as of today. I find the Tableau concept (Site / Project hierarchy / Project / Data sources & Workbooks) much more convinient.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
I agree with the above idea of creating/ publishing multiple Apps from a single App Workspace.
In addition, I would also like to have folder/sub-folder like structure for App Workspaces where I can publish the whole main folder(App Workspace) to a group versus publishing a single/multiple sub-folders to another group.
Anybody else thinks this is a good idea?
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
I agree, it would be easier for admin to maintain. same group can consume more than one reports/dashboards.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
Two major features are needed here. First, the ability to create multiple apps from one workspace. Second, the ability to create a dashboard the pulls visuals from reports that reside in different workspaces.
This is essential for reuse within large organizations.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
This feature is definitely required for our enterprise-wide deployment. We need to ability to publish different contents to different groups from the same datasets.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
This should be a priority for Microsoft--large enterprise customers need this type of flexibility.
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
without this whats the point of apps... Really hope this feature comes asap, even 2-3 apps would be OK and then more apps for a higher price, but 1 app per workspace makes that 1 app kindof redundant
RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace
We are able to re-use one golden dataset across different apps, as I commented on one of Matt Arlington's blogs. This is different from using multiple apps to one workspace to centralize development, but solves part of the problem.
In my scenario I am making this Golden Dataset available to use in multiple App Workspaces, to maximize the application of “single source of truth”. This is done by using Sharepoint to house the Golden Dataset (PBIX), then in each of the App Workspaces use Get Data –> Get Files –> Sharepoint Teamsites, then point to where the PBIX file is uploaded.
The setup is pretty straightforward, using Sharepoint as the cloud storage for PBIX files, and by using the "Get Files from Sharepoint" method above, in each App Workspace, the Golden Dataset is now available for use in each App Workspace, and subsequently production Apps. Future updates in the Golden Dataset (data refresh, measures, relationships) will reflect to each App Workspace.
