Bookmark cannot change other bookmark visual?

[CCal]

I have a bookmark that resets everything to some default view with data and display selected.

I have have a bookmark, a toggle between two bookmarks actually that hides one visual and show another, like a tabbed behaviour.

On this bookmark toggle, I applied some formatting, like bold to selected with a different colour etc. to make it visually more apparant to the user which tab is activated.

Whenever I click the Reset bookmark, all visuals and data resets, but the bookmark toggle does not. 

Is this a bug or is there a way to make one bookmark also resets the state of another bookmark?

Hi @CCal 

Bookmarks are a saved state of a report and does not override other bookmarks. Switching from a bookmark to another only switches from one saved state to another.

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.

Use “All visuals” when creating bookmarks.
Include toggle buttons in the bookmark selection.
Or trigger multiple bookmarks with one button to reset both visuals and toggles.

My RESET bookmark is set to All Visuals. 

Everything obeys this reset bookmark except other bookmarks.
