You can publish report parts both from Report Builder 3 .0 and Report Designer in Business 
Intelligence Development Studio . In Report Designer, the Report menu contains the Publish 
Report Parts command . In the Publish Report Parts dialog box, shown in Figure 9-17, you 
select the report items that you want to publish . You can replace the report item name and 
provide a description before publishing . 
FIGURE 9-17 
The Publish Report Parts dialog box
When you first publish the report part, Reporting Services assigns it a unique identifier 
that persists across all reports to which it will be added . Note the option in the Publish Report 
Parts dialog box in Report Designer (shown in Figure 9-15) to overwrite the report part on the 
report server every time you deploy the report . In Report Builder, you have a different option 
that allows you to choose whether to publish the report item as a new copy of the report . 
If you later modify the report part and publish the revised version, Reporting Services can 
use the report part’s unique identifier to recognize it in another report when another report 
developer opens that report for editing. At that time, the report author receives a notification 
of the revision and can decide whether to accept the change .
