We have the need to point a report to a different (but structurally identical) data set. For example, we have a data set that is a live connection to an Azure AS model. Users have inadvertently created new versions of the data set and published reports(connected to the "orphan" copies of data sets.) We would like to point these reports at the shared Power BI Service data set.

RE: Switch data set used by a report

This would be very useful if we want to promote a report through dev, test and prod and each time point at the appropriate version of the data set. Having to manually change the data source on the desktop then republish is not good deployment practice.
