Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and publish bookmarks in Power BI Desktop.

Quick summary

Bookmarks in Power BI let you save and share specific report views, capturing filters, slicers, and visual states at a single point in time. Use the Bookmarks pane in Power BI Desktop to add, manage, and publish saved views for faster navigation and storytelling.


Steps

  1. Open your report in Power BI Desktop and configure the view you want to save.
  2. Navigate to the View tab in the top ribbon.
  3. Select Bookmarks to enable the Bookmarks panel.
  4. Open the Bookmarks pane and click Add to save the current state of the report page.
  5. Confirm the bookmark is created — it captures the exact filters, slicers, and visuals active at that moment.
  6. Click Publish to share your bookmark with other report viewers.

📌 Why this matters

Power BI Bookmarks are a powerful feature for data analysts and report developers who need to save and present specific report states without rebuilding filters each time. By capturing the exact configuration of visuals, slicers, and filters, bookmarks enable faster storytelling, guided data exploration, and interactive navigation within published reports. Teams that use bookmarks reduce time spent re-explaining dashboard context and improve the consistency of insights shared across stakeholders. Mastering bookmarks in Power BI Desktop is an essential skill for anyone building professional, presentation-ready business intelligence reports.
