    Hi  jamesbla-ms ,

     

    You might consider trying to use the history.replaceState method when you first start loading the report to replace the current history entry with a new one, preventing the creation of additional entries.

     // Before loading the report
    history.replaceState(null, document.title, location.href);
    // Load the Power BI report
    powerbi.embed(reportContainer, embedConfig);

    And you may also try to check your embed configuration is optimized to avoid unnecessary navigation changes. Sometimes, tweaking the configuration can help reduce unwanted history entries.
