'Selected Visuals' option not working on Bookmarks
Hi gracecharlton ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
Please follow below steps to fix the issue.
1. Duplicate the page.
2. On the duplicate, Open Selection pane --> create two Groups: “Absolute” and “Relative”. Place your visuals into the appropriate group; set the visibility (eye icon) so only one group is visible per state.
3. Create two bookmarks, Bookmark: Absolute --> visibility: Absolute group On, Relative Off; set All visuals and turn OFF Data.
Bookmark: Relative --> visibility: Relative On, Absolute Off; All visuals, Data OFF.4. Wire buttons to these bookmarks and test: change the Location slicer, toggle Absolute/Relative, the slicer should remain intact and the layout should switch correctly.
5. If you must use Selected visuals for very granular toggles, include the slicer in the selection when updating each bookmark, and update both bookmarks after any slicer formatting or layout change.
Note: Bookmarks are snapshots of page state (layout/visibility + filter/slicer states). When Selected visuals is glitchy (post‑update), the bookmark may retain the first captured state and not properly apply subsequent changes especially around slicers.

This behaviour is happening for many users after the latest Desktop update. The issue is not with your report; it’s a Power BI bug affecting the “Selected Visuals” bookmark mode. Microsoft has not published it on the Known Issues page yet, but multiple users have confirmed the same problem. Until Microsoft fixes it, the only stable workaround is to use “All Visuals” or create the bookmarks in an earlier Desktop version.
