In PowerBI .pbix files, the first report page is always referred to internally as ReportSection. This cannot be changed via PowerBI Desktop, and requires custom tools to change.

As a result, it makes merging PowerBI documents difficult, as every time a new page is added, all pages need to be merged, a page added (ensuring a unique internal name), then re-split into individual files.

If we could allow the editing of internal powerbi page names, or ensure appropriate randomisation of internal name generation, this problem would not occur.
