Attach new data to the previously created report

[Sravanthi-Gogadi]

Hello,

I have a function that creates a report dynamically when the if the condition is satisfied, now in the else I have written a code which has to attach to the previous report. Is there a way to do that?

One solution would be to regenerate/overwrite the report with the both the old and the new content. However we're looking at adding an append mode so you can append additional graphs/plots to an existing published report, e.g. report.publish(name="my report", update_mode="append") - this would update the existing report "my report" with the additional plots/graphs/text/etc. - would that solve your use-case?

If you want to modify within the same script instance, you can modify your report object as much as needed until you publish it, i.e.

def func_a() -> List[Blocks]:
   return [dp.Plot(a), dp.Plot(b)]

def func_b() -> List[Blocks]:
   return [dp.Plot(c), dp.Table(df)

blocks = func_a() + func_b()
r = Report(blocks=blocks).publish(...)

or you can use the dp.Group functionality to collect together blocks rather than storing in a list. We also plan on adding some additional helper functions here to make it easier to modify an existing report object, e.g. add blocks, pages, etc., before publishing.
