I have a Parameterized RMarkdown Report deployed to Connect.
I know want to publish a new variant of this report with slightly altered parameters.
But I don't want to redeploy the report and lose all my already rendered variants.
I want to do this from the workbench, so that I ideally get the urls back for each variant.
Is this possible with packages like rsconnect or connectapi?
You definitely can! New variants are a bit tricky to create today (and we are hoping to improve this workflow in the future!), but the way you do so is inside of the Connect UI. We talk about it in more detail here:
