How to Create a Bookmark in Power BI

Use this interactive demo to learn how to save and capture report views as bookmarks in Power BI.

Quick summary

A Power BI bookmark captures the exact state of your report — including filters, visuals, and page layout — so you can save and revisit specific views instantly. Use the Bookmarks pane in Power BI Desktop to create, manage, and navigate between saved report states without manual reconfiguration.


Steps

  1. Open your Power BI Desktop report and set up the view you want to capture.
  2. Go to the View tab in the top navigation ribbon.
  3. Select Bookmarks to enable the Bookmarks panel.
  4. Open the Bookmarks pane and click Add to create a new bookmark.
  5. The bookmark captures the exact state of the report at that moment — your setup is complete.

📌 Why this matters

Power BI bookmarks let report authors and analysts save specific report states — including active filters, slicer selections, and visual configurations — as named snapshots. This makes it easy to build interactive navigation, guided storytelling, and toggle views directly within a report without duplicating pages. For data teams and business users, bookmarks reduce manual work and help deliver cleaner, more dynamic Power BI dashboards. Mastering bookmarks is essential for anyone building production-grade Power BI reports that need to support multiple perspectives or user scenarios.
