When publishing your package to help ensure that you don't need to open each report you could ensure that Enable Model versioning is set to 1 and tick the 'Delete all previous model versions' this will then force all of your reports to use the lastest package definition.

Excellent.

That means no more messages like this when opening a report ??
The package has been updated. The report will be updated based on the updated package.


Thanks

If you replace the packages and reports with new one, it'll not prompt for updated package. But if you have some reports already in PROD that use the new package, it may prompt that. But for users running RS reports, it doesn't affect.
And in PROD, it's not good idea to open report in report studio.
