Want to Push Changes in Reports

[elliottButton]

In Looker Studio, as data ops are becoming more & more needed to ensure the reliability of our data products, I think it's high time we be able to test changes in a sandbox or test environment then push or deploy those changes to a production environment. Looker uses git and supports this basic devops practice. It would be nice to see something similar in Looker Studio.

The current methods I've found for doing this are:

1. Maintaining two copies of a report. Making & testing changes in the sandbox, then manually recreating these changes in the production reports.
2. Copying a report (either through the "make a copy" or this cli tool https://github.com/google/looker-studio-dashboard-cloner). Make & test changes. Then use this new copy as the production environment. However, this is now a new url to share with our many users.

Does anyone know a less manual way to do this so that the URL of the production environment stays the same?

Have you taken a look report publishing? That sounds like what you're after.
