    Presently when you create an App from a Workspace and then publish a new version of one of the reports to the Workspace you have to update the App for the new report to be visible in the App. Apparently the App holds on to some cached version of the report.This was also the case in content packs which were the predecessor to Apps. We need an option in the App to have it automatically use the report from the Workspace versus whatever cached version it is presently using.

    Agreed!
    Updating the app every time a report is updated for some minor issue introduces an additional step and the potential for human error.
    There should be the option to automatically update the app, regardless of what changes have been made to a report within it.

    Yes! We really need this. Because of the fact we are working with TEST Workspaces, there is no need to 'stage' datamodels within the workspace and updating every single time the App Workspace.
