I published a report into service. Then I save a copy of it using the name of other existing report. Instead of asking me, if I want to replace the other report, it just creates a new report with the exactly same name. As a result I have duplicates of the same report names, the other is the old one and the other the new one. I would like to choose, if I want to replace the existing one as you can do, when publishing a report from Power BI Desktop. Until then, I need to delete the old versions and update the new ones in app. For end users, all their changes to default options and comments are gone.

In addition to the post above, it would also be nice if the report also preserves not only replaces the report but preserves the permissions as well.
