Description

The Dataflow Gen1 - Gen2 Migration Wizard provides a guided, end-to-end experience to help customers upgrade existing Power BI Dataflows (Gen1) to Dataflow Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric with minimal effort.The wizard supports both single-item and bulk upgrades, allowing customers to migrate one dataflow or multiple dataflows within a workspace in a single flow. It is available for Dataflow Gen1 items in Premium workspaces and requires Fabric to be enabled to run the upgraded Dataflow Gen2 items.Beyond upgrading the dataflow itself, the Migration Wizard automatically handles downstream dependencies, seamlessly redirecting references from Dataflow Gen1 outputs to the new Dataflow Gen2 outputs--without requiring any manual changes to reports, semantic models, or other dependent items.This experience dramatically simplifies Gen1 - Gen2 migration scenarios, making it easy to bring existing Power BI Dataflows into Fabric and immediately benefit from Dataflow Gen2 innovations, including improved performance, deeper Fabric integration, and a modern Data Transformation foundation.
