How to Handle Multiple Bookmark Interactions for Different Visual Sections in Power BI?
I identified the issue:
1. Switch from ‘All Visuals’ to ‘Selected Visuals.’
2. In the Visualization Panel, select the visuals impacted by the bookmark and hide the ones not needed. Once the desired behavior is set, update the bookmark.

Hmm, if the term bookmarks are responsible for the visualizations on the left, and the Card bookmarks for those on the right, and additionally in the sections the visualizations are overlapped in the right way, then Selected Visual should be able to handle it without any problems.
Please send descriptions of situations that may occur or send a .pbix file with an example, then I can describe it in more detail.

Yes, you’re right about the bookmarks utilization. For example, if the user selects Term Balance and then Card Count, but in the Selection Option the visualization for Term% is placed above Term Balance (and that’s how the bookmark for Card Count was saved), it will ignore the user’s selection of Term Balance and display Term% instead, because that’s how the hierarchy was set for Card Count. This could happen with all the buttons as they're saved in a different way and they are not responsive based on the selection of the user for the section.
What is above or below is set in the selection panel and theoretically has nothing to do with bookmarks.
From what you wrote, it appears that bookmarks from the card section also affect the Term section (they have the state of these visualizations saved) - correct me if I'm wrong.
If this is really the case, then to try to set the bookmarks correctly, you first need to write down all the possible combinations that you would like to be visible, and then try to match the bookmark settings to this.
In my opinion, this is possible (as long as the bookmarks are not mutually exclusive), but you need to write down the cases.

Yes, that is the exact solution.
Super! 🙂
Yes, you’re right. However, I haven’t found a way to control the positioning of the visualizations. For example, in the Term Balance bookmark and Card Count bookmark, the bar chart is in front of the line chart. So if a user selects Term % (which brings the line chart to the front), and then selects Card Count, the bar chart (as saved in the Card Count bookmark) will move to the front, hiding the line chart. I’m not sure how to prevent this issue with graphics moving to the back/front based on how they were saved in each bookmark.
