Ability to compare two reports, for e.g. if I want to review somebody’s work that the only thing he has changed is only a bug fix, there is no way to compare the old report vs the new one (like a xml compare / json etc. compare of those two files). This is to ensure that I haven’t changed anything more than needed.

RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
I see this is a very old post. Does anyone know if there are any difference compare tools available for comparing powerbi reports? Now that we are in 2020?
RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
I wonder why this idea hasn't received more votes yet.
How do other people deal with missing version control, change tracking, and bulk editing options for Power BI in an enterprise BI context? Is there a solution to these problems that I just don't know about?
I'd appreciate any comments which describe solutions for those issues.

RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
This would be a big help so you can use normal development tools like source control and diff's. Hard to scale up report development without this.
RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
We have had issues with people changing the attributes and its hard to see what was updated.
RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
The Power BI ecosystem needs a version control mechanism. Having a tool that can show the differences between PBIXs will move us closer in that direction.
RE: Ability to compare two pbix files / reports
I would also support this feature mainly to review changes done by other person. Or if PowerBI can show just the difference ...it would be useful too.
