Bookmark cannot change other bookmark visual?
- 10 months ago
Hi CCal
This isn’t a bug — it’s actually a limitation of how Power BI bookmarks work. Each bookmark in Power BI captures the state of visuals, filters, and display settings at the moment it’s created, but bookmarks don’t “interact” with each other or reset other bookmarks’ states dynamically. In your case, the Reset bookmark is probably set to capture filters, slicers, and visuals, but it doesn’t include the formatting or selection state of the toggle buttons you created for tabbed navigation. Similarly, when you toggle between the two bookmarks for tabs, the formatting changes you applied (e.g., bold text and colors) are visual formatting changes stored in those specific bookmarks — and Power BI doesn’t have a concept of “linked” bookmarks that can revert each other’s formatting states automatically.
The workaround is to recreate or update your Reset bookmark so that it captures not just the data and filters, but also the formatting state of the toggle visuals. To do this, switch your toggle buttons to their default (unselected) visual state, ensure the visuals and data are in the default configuration, and then update the Reset bookmark with “Data, Display, and Current page” all checked. This way, when you trigger the Reset bookmark, it restores the entire report page — including the tab toggle visuals — to the captured default state. Alternatively, some designers use Selection Pane groups + bookmarks more strategically, or use Buttons with Bookmarks and the “Selected state” feature (for newer versions) to manage this more consistently. Essentially, the Reset bookmark must explicitly include the visual states you want to revert — it can’t implicitly override other bookmarks.
