Let me show you the step-by-step approach to editing the Power BI app with a practical example. Before we start editing the Power BI app, let me show you the existing app in my Power BI workspace.

To edit the Power BI app demo, we used the sample workspace app we created earlier. I suggest you check out the Publish App article to understand Power BI app creation.
