What is a key difference between the new Power BI workspace experience and the classic workspace experience?

The new Power BI workspace experience is designed to enhance user collaboration and streamline operations, which is why it does not automatically create an Office 365 group as part of the workspace setup. In the classic workspace experience, creating an Office 365 group was a built-in requirement, linking the workspace directly with other Microsoft 365 tools and services. This led to some limitations in how workspaces could be configured and managed.

By not automatically creating an Office 365 group, the new workspace allows users to maintain more control over how they establish their work environments. It provides greater flexibility in terms of security, permissions, and integration without the pre-defined structures imposed by the Office 365 group. This shift reflects a modernized approach to workspace management, enabling seamless collaboration while allowing users to customize their collaboration tools according to specific project needs.

Understanding this difference is crucial, as it impacts how teams can manage access, share insights, and work together effectively in the new Power BI landscape compared to the classic model.
