Report Publishing Brings Version Control to Google Data Studio

A new feature Google introduced in Data Studio called Report Publishing, brings version control to the popular cloud dashboard. Version control manages a document so people know they can work with the most current information without risking loss of potentially important information in previous versions.

Report Publishing allows marketers to decide how viewers see real-time changes made to a report. This allows reports to be updated without cutting off access to the latest version for readers.

To turn on report publishing, access the feature when you open your Data Studio report. You go to the File menu, then select Publishing Settings from the dropdown menu. You can then switch Report Publishing feature on.

Viewers will only see the published report. Report editors can switch back and forth between draft and published reports in view mode. Reports stay up-to-date without slowing down workflows — something everyone will welcome.
