19. Bookmarks, Selection Pane, Buttons and Navigation

19.2 The Bookmarks Pane

Steps in Power BI

  1. View › Bookmarks opens the Bookmarks pane.
  2. Set up the page as you want it (e.g. Platform slicer = Blinkit, City = Pune) › click Add. A bookmark Bookmark 1 appears. Double-click it to rename (Pune – Blinkit).
  3. Click … (More options) next to a bookmark: Update (save the current state into it), Rename, Delete, Group (after selecting several bookmarks with Ctrl), and the toggles Data, Display, Current page, All visuals / Selected visuals.
  4. Drag bookmarks to reorder them. Click View at the top of the pane to present bookmarks as a slide show (Next/Previous arrows at the bottom).
  5. Report readers in the Service can also create personal bookmarks (Bookmarks menu in the report toolbar).

Ravindra Bagale's Tip

Remember one thing: the bookmark mistakes I see most are changing the page and forgetting to click Update, and a toggle bookmark with Data ticked that resets the user's slicers. For show/hide patterns, untick Data so only Display is captured. If you delete and recreate a visual, update the bookmarks that referenced it. Never forget this.
