Configure Version Control for a Workspace in Microsoft Fabric (DP-600)

Introduction

Microsoft Fabric provides powerful version control capabilities for managing changes and tracking history in a workspace. For the DP-600 certification exam, understanding how to configure version control in a Fabric workspace is essential to enable collaborative development and maintain code integrity. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to set up version control for a Microsoft Fabric workspace to track, manage, and reverse changes. We'll walk you through the steps to connect a Fabric workspace to a GitHub repository.

Version Control in Microsoft Fabric

Version control in Microsoft Fabric allows teams to collaborate on data models, reports, and other assets while maintaining a complete history of changes. It enables rollback to previous versions, conflict resolution, and better control over the development lifecycle. With version control, developers can work on different features simultaneously, track changes, and merge updates efficiently.

Microsoft Fabric integrates with Git-based repositories (like Azure DevOps and GitHub) to provide a seamless version control experience.

Set Up Version Control

You can configure version control in a Fabric workspace by connecting it to a Git repository. This allows you to commit changes, create branches, and manage updates directly from the Fabric environment.

Step 1: Connect Git Provider and Account

To connect your Fabric workspace to Git, open the desired workspace and click Workspace settings.

Navigate to Git integration and select your Git provider (Azure DevOps or GitHub). In this example, we select GitHub.
