Bookmarks - hide main group without changing show/hide status of subgroup items

[suk2]

I am trying to understand if it is possible for bookmarks to hide at the "Selection" group level, rather than at the individual subgroup level that is set when the bookmark is initially configured.

This is the default visiblity of the group 2 of "Selection" objects when the Slicer panel is closed (a bookmark):

A user can open slicer panel (different bookmark) and click on "Time & Category" in a bookmark navigator, which will cause the group 2 to be set to this visibility:

When the user does their slicer selections, they will close the slicer panel, which will reset the Group 2 visibility to the 1st picture. We don't want this functionality. Is there a way to use bookmarks to hide at the group level without affecting subgroup object visibility? I confirmed that when I hide/unhide "Group 2" manually it doesn't change the subobjects. Thank you!

Hi

No, unfortunately Power BI bookmarks don’t support toggling only the group visibility without affecting the visibility of the child items if those child items were included in the original bookmark capture.

Workaround:
When creating the bookmark, manually uncheck the visibility for each child item (so they are not tracked). Then only the group visibility will be tracked. Do this by:

1. Expanding the group in the Selection pane.

2. Deselecting the checkbox next to each child object.

3. Selecting only the group object before updating the bookmark.

This way, hiding/showing the group via the bookmark won’t reset the child visibility states.
