Development environment

Create an App Workspace for development in the Power BI Service and add members who will create and edit content.

As the workspace (Sales-DEV) will only be used for development, it may not be necessary to assign the workspace to a Premium capacity, or perhaps the workspace could be assigned to a smaller premium capacity (that is, P1). The production workspace (sales) will of course be accessed by many more users and may also contain a larger dataset and more frequent data refresh requirements, which can only be supported by Power BI Premium.

Import a Power BI Desktop file (PBIX) containing a development dataset to OneDrive for business.
