edhans  Would you mind sharing a bit more about what you're seeing in? Is this about the new UI that exists within Dataflows or are you seeing a new behavior within Power BI Desktop?

    Hi miguel - in Power BI Desktop, I just open Power Query (transform data) and all of the display folders on the left side of the screen are collapsed, so I am forced to manually open them up to see my actual queries.

    When I close Power Query and reopen it, the display folders are all closed again.

You can definitely suggest that we modify such behavior in the new UI once we introduce the modern editor by suggesting the idea through the Fabric Ideas portal (https://aka.ms/FabricIdeas)

        When I open Power Query in Excel, all of the display folders are open and I can see all of my queries.
