    Currently it seems that it's impossible for end-users to access the dataset in Power BI - only in Excel! That's kinda crazy - please enable similar "copy to workspace" functionality as content packs.
    In particular, it should be possible for users to copy a report from an App and customize it - we need this for several use cases.

    I agree that this needs to be a requirement before deprecating Content Packs. Without it the concept of "Self-Serve" reporting completely goes away unless you role out Desktop to every user or create a security maintenance nightmare with App workspaces.

    Completely agree. After publishing an App, we would like to give our users ability to, in their own copy of a report, create new report pages with their preferred visuals and hierarchy drill paths, while respecting the row-level-security of the DataSet. This could be saved to their 'My Workspace'.
