Loading Desktop Layout

Hello

 

I prefer that when I open PBI Desktop it open with the same layout, ie Selection, Bookmarks, Visualizations, and Fields checked and visible. Is this possible? Thanks

You have to create a bookmark for that and click it after you open the pbix file..

 

As far as i know its possible in desktop

 

If it helps, mark it as a solution

Kudos are nice too

Thank you for responding. Unless I am doing something wrong, your suggestion did not work for me. I still need to manually go to View / Bookmarks / Selection to be able to see them as part of my desktop layout.
