How to see the instructions contained within a bookmark

I am maintaining a complex Power BI Desktop report with dozens of bookmarks. Using the Bookmarks pane I can click on a bookmark and it changes the view of the report. But I cannot find anywhere that describes what that bookmark actually does. I would expect that each bookmark has a set of instructions (something like "Set slicer X to this value; set visual Y to visible; set visual Z to invisible; select report tab Page1").  Where can I see those instructions? Or do we just need to click a bookmark and then watch the screen closely to see what changes?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You could simply rename the bookmarks to describe the scenarios:

Or if you have assigned bookmarks to buttons,you could enable Text/ Title/ Tooltip to show some descriptions:

Hello @Anonymous ,

 

You can use Tooltip inside "Action" section to mention your message. That message will come once User will hover on the button.
