    Also export dataflows to a .pbix file.
    Since they can be deleted easily, there should be an easy backup possibility for the scripts.

    I posted a related request to copy/paste from PQ desktop editors (not just PBI but also Excel and VS):

    I don't know how this doesn't have more votes. This would be a huge benefit and in my opinion, would add more value than further development of the user interface in Dataflows. We can continue to use the already brilliant functionality in desktop and push it straight to dataflows.

    I was going to post this exact idea as "allow me to promote a Power Query to a Dataflow"

    RE: Import queries from .pbix file as Power BI dataflows

    I am moving a number of queries from pbix files into Dataflows. Being able to easily transfer queries from a pbix file into Dataflows is essential to make this task easier and faster.
