Advocate IVPersonalized Visual Not Saving in Bookmarks
Hi garynorcrossmmc,
Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.
Currently, Microsoft does not provide a published matrix or official list that details exactly which visuals support which types of ‘Personalize this visual’ features in bookmarks.
Below are alternate approaches you can try
1.Tables and Matrix visuals retain most personalization changes like hiding/reordering columns and sorting in bookmarks.
2.Charts (e.g., Stacked Column, Pie, Bar) do not retain structural changes (like adding fields to Legend, Axis, or Values) in personal bookmarks.
3.Formatting changes (e.g., colors, data labels) are generally preserved across visuals.
4.There's no official Microsoft matrix listing which visuals support which personalized bookmark features, but the Personalize visuals in a report - Power BI | Microsoft Learn offer general guidance.
Please continue using Microsoft community forum.

Advocate IVhi anilelmastasi thank you for your response! However I think my experience differs, as I've found that bookmarks where table visuals have been personalized will retain the changes made to the visual.
Here is a video showing that - you'll see that after I personalize the visual to exclude the 'Name' field, create a bookmark called 'Test', refresh the page and then click the 'Test' bookmark again, the visual has kept the 'personalize this visual' change:
So now my question becomes is this visual-specific? Are changes to personalized table visuals retained in bookmarks but not in other visuals, such as the Stacked Column Chart?
Hi garynorcrossmmc,
Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Community Forum.
Thank you anilelmastasi for the helpful response.
1.Bookmarks can retain some "Personalize this visual" changes — particularly in table and matrix visuals (like hiding/reordering columns). These personalization settings are more consistently captured in personal bookmarks.
2.However, for visuals like Stacked Column Charts, personalization changes involving structure — such as adding fields to the Legend, Axis, or Values — are not retained in personal bookmarks. This behavior varies by visual type and by the type of personalization made.
