Page navigator button - linked page

Hi team,

good day. 
I have been asked to look at an powerBI pbix. on first looks, it has a number of pages. The main page has buttons to the other pages. The subpages are hidden.

I understand these are the Page Navigator buttons.  When i ctrl+click on the button, it goes to the subpage.  I highligt the button by clicking it, hoping to see a property that would tell me which subpage the button is linked to. However i don't see any of it. I am on the July 2022 edition of PowerBI desktop.   Basically i need to know what page a button is linked to.

Please any tip where i should be looking. 

 

Thanks

    Hi msprog ,

    If it is a page navigator you cannot see linked pages. it works behind the seen. It has individual button for each page (hidden and visible). It will automatically add a new button if you add new page to the report. If you delete a page, it will delete related page button from navigator automatically. If you change a name of a page, it will change button name automatically.
    Thank you.

        Hi msprog ,

        There is no action property for page navigation buttons.

        It has only following options.

        Thank you.

    In the Format section of the button, you can see to what page the button is linked to in the Action Section --> Destination option:

        Are you sure that those are buttons?

        Can you share a screenshot?

    Hi,

    You could access the property and see/change the link on the following page.

    If it is generated as a Page navigator, you need to see/change the 'Web Url', otherwise use/change the Bookmark and destination in Action menu
