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.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

Shared datasets do not address this issue. If you are using deployment pipelines or are separating content via dev, qa, spt and prod workspaces, you cannot modify the shared dataset to point to a different datasource (dev,qa,spt,prod) through the service. You can only do this from Power BI desktop. You will have to duplicate the shared dataset in any workspace you are using it in in order to solve this problem which defeats the purpose of using a shared dataset.

Multiple apps for one workspace would allow you to have all the datasets you need in one set of workspaces. This also allows you to secure reports through apps and separate access without the need of having to create multiple workspaces. This is very painful to do right now, especially when you are doing it for just 1 report. In turn you have to create 3 to 4 workspaces (dev,qa,spt,prod) just to secure 1 report for a set of users.

Please allow for multiple apps to be published on top of a single workspace.

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

Why not having 2 or more apps from one workspace? So one can customize app for the users needs.
There are often the same parts of reports that are useful for different levels of employees.

Please add multiple apps per workspace!!

RE: Create multiple apps from same workspace

Please add this feature .. Also add option to list pages to bottom of the report , since current left side menu is very confusing.
