Central source for dataflows to reduce redundancy and allow for easy searching. Right now dataflows are in separate workspaces making them difficult to find and we are already seeing similar dataflows across multiple workspaces with the same functionality but with different names.

RE: Central source for dataflows to reduce redundancy and allow for easy searching

Was going to post something nearly identical to this; dataflows should sit above the workspace level so that they can be defined once and re-used where necessary.

It's still one of the biggest issues for us as an organisation with PowerBI in that it invites duplication by making data live at workspace level. Even moving to capacity level would be a massive bonus.
