Bookmark Navigator Bug?
I found a solution...please disregard
I had to make sure that the page I was clicking on matched the saved bookmark exactly. After making sure that the bookmarks were updated to match exactly, it was able to tell that everything was in the same state as the bookmark and it updated. A quick test is to have the bookmarks pane open and when you click on the page, see if the bookmark "highlights" as if you had clicked it there. If not, it may just need to be udpated.
Hope that works for you as well!
kimco I have tried matching the page names with the bookmark names but the bookmark navigation buttons aren't chnging when the default page is selected. Could you eloborate more on what you mean by matching the saved bookmark with the page exactly? maybe a pbix example would help. Thanks for your help.
So, it isn't the name of the bookmark and the name of the page that matters. It is the actual state of the content on the page when navigated to, and the content when the bookmark was created. When you look at an existing bookmark on the bookmarks pane you can choose to have the bookmark set to "Data/Display/Current page" as well as "All visuals/Selected visuals". The state of each of these items in the bookmark would have to match the state of the items on the page when you navigate to it by clicking on the page name instead of using a bookmark link.
So, for example, if you have a page with just a table and a slicer (and the bookmark navigator of course):
1. Set the slicer to ALL, create the bookmark, and add it to the navigator.
2. Change the slicer to select an item. You no longer "match" the bookmark, but the navigator still shows it highlighted because that's the last bookmark it "remembers"
3. Use the navigator to go to another bookmark, then use it again to return
4. Your slicer should have reverted to ALL because that's what the bookmark was set to
5. Change the slicer to select an item again, and once again use the navigator to go to a different bookmark
6. This time, click on the page name to return to the example. The navigator will still show the "other" bookmark selected because the slicer doesn't match what you saved in the bookmark. Since they don't match "exactly" it doesn't register that it has hit a bookmark and so it retains the last "remembered" bookmark it was used for
You'd have to select the table and NOT the slicer, then update the bookmark to selected visuals only, then when you navigate to the page, only the table state would be compared to the bookmark. This may be true for sorting of the columns as well (I've not looked that deeply into it)
I hope this helps, and good luck!
