It's great that we can apply custom themes to individual pbix files. However if we project this out 6 months into the future and speculate that we have 10 reports with a common custom theme. Let's says that someone (not you) decides the them needs to change.

Currently you would have to modify the them and then apply it to file by painful file.

It would be magic if you could just change the theme, test and apply it to the entire workspace.

How about a level up and being able too apply it across workspaces ?

RE: Apply Theme at workspace level to all reports in workspace

An idea to build on this one. Instead of applying the theme to all reports in a work space, allow a theme to be uploaded for the work space. Allow each report to be have a new field for "Use work space theme"( off/on switch like the "Include in app" switch). The report owner could then select to use the default work space theme or their own theme.

Yes! Setting a theme for all reports in the workspace would be great.

And/or, some new UI in the Service where you could store any number of themes...and, for example, you could quickly change the theme of 10 reports to "ThemeX," and change the theme of 5 different reports to "ThemeY."
