Power BI logoMotio for Power BI

Govern everything built in Power BI.

Let everyone build. Lose nothing.

Power BI is the enterprise standard for self-service BI, but it ships with no native way to version, govern, or safely deploy the content people create. Motio for Power BI is one governed BI Ops platform: version everything automatically, deploy with control, and keep analytics governed and trusted.

What we do for Power BI

Everything you need to manage Power BI content.

Four capabilities that keep your Power BI environment versioned, consistent, and under control, without adding manual effort.

Track Every Change

Changes to reports and semantic models are captured automatically, no manual commits. See exactly which DAX measure changed, who changed it, and when.

+Automatic version history
+Visual diff with merge options
+One-click restore

Deploy with Confidence

Promote content between workspaces through repeatable workflows instead of manual publish-and-pray.

+Ad hoc & release-based
+Approval workflows
+Scheduled deployments

Strengthen Governance

Apply governance policies by workspace, strict approvals where it matters, agility where it doesn't.

+Workspace-level policies
+Approval gates
+Unused report cleanup

Capabilities in depth

Built for the way Power BI teams work.

From first edit to production deploy, Motio fits the tools, environments, and content your Power BI team already uses.

01

Automatic version history

Every change to a report or semantic model is captured automatically, the moment it happens, no manual commits. Each version is timestamped and attributed to its author.

02

Visual diff & compare

Compare any two versions and see precisely what moved across reports, semantic models, and DAX measures, so reviews are fast and nothing slips through.

03

Deployment pipelines

Promote reports across Dev, Test, and Prod workspaces on repeatable pipelines, with validation gates before anything reaches production.

04

Approval workflows

Route work to the right reviewers. Nothing publishes to your workspaces without the sign-off your governance model requires.

05

One-click rollback

Restore any report to a previous version instantly, recover from a bad edit without recreating lost work.

06

Security & audit

Honor RLS and OLS and workspace roles and item permissions, and keep a complete, exportable record of who changed what, when, and why.

07

Refresh & scheduling

Track and govern scheduled refreshes alongside content updates, so data operations stay in sync with deployments.

08

Estate cleanup

Find and safely retire unused reports to keep your workspaces fast, tidy, and under control.

Deploy · Controlled release process

Bundle changes into a release, then ship on your schedule.

Group the reports that belong together into one release, then decide: run it now, schedule it for later, or save it for when you're ready, instead of promoting content ad hoc, one item at a time.
