Power BI "Bookmark Feature" Contest

 

1. On Page 1 and there's an existing bookmark "Page 1" that I previously created

2. Add a text box to Page 1 and create a new bookmark called "Page 1 Help"

3. Hide step 2 text box

4. Choose "Update" in "Page 1" bookmark options (elipses/three dots)

5. Text box still seen when using "Page 1" bookmark

Why??  Is "Update" on the bookmark options not working or do I not understand the purpose of it?

 

Bottom line: I want to make a change to the page (for example hide a vizualization) and have an existing bookmark be updated to correspond to the changes I made.

 

Thanks!

    1. I usually create the bookmark first so Create 'Page 1 - Help'
    2. Add the text box and update 'Page 1 - Help' bookmark
    3. Click on older created bookmark called 'Page 1'
    4. Using the view selection hide the text box and update 'Page 1' bookmark and you should be done.

     

    I dont see any other reason why it would not work or break

    Using Power BI Desktop:

    1. On Page 1 and there's an existing bookmark "Page 1" that I previously created

    2. Add a text box to Page 1 and create a new bookmark called "Page 1 Help"

    3. Hide step 2 text box

    4. Choose "Update" in "Page 1" bookmark options (elipses/three dots)

    5. Text box still seen when using "Page 1" bookmark

    Why??  Is "Update" on the bookmark options not working or do I not understand the purpose of it?

     

    I've tried various combinations of the other bookmark options checked/not checked.

     

    Bottom line: I want to make a change to the page (for example hide a vizualization) and have an existing bookmark be updated to correspond to the changes I made.
