This episode covers how to use the bookmark feature in Power BI Reports and Dashboards.

What is a bookmark?

The bookmark feature within Power BI allows you to capture the current state of a report page, how you have configured it. This includes selected filters and adjusted slicers. Bookmarks allow easy access to return a page to a specified state simply by selecting a saved bookmark.

Bookmarks can be built into a report when it is shared with you or you can add personal bookmarks to keep track of personal areas of interest.

Built-in bookmarks

• Pre-prepared bookmarks by report creator/ publisher
• Often placed on cards within a report page or dashboard
• Represented by bookmark symbol

Personal bookmarks

• Apply the filters you wish to include in your bookmark
• Head to bookmarks tool; on the right-hand side of top report ribbon
• Title your bookmark and save
• Access this saved bookmark from the same menu option
