The current bookmarking feature requires report creators to define bookmarks. Ideally, users would be able to save personalized bookmarks (similar to web browser) in addition to the author's pre-defined bookmarks. For example, I might have a project management report or sales by stores. Each user of the report may have their own set of projects or stores that they want to quickly navigate between. These are relevant to the current users and not other users of the reports.

- Thank you for all for being patient. I'm excited to announce that we're bringing personal bookmarks to all reports in the Power BI service. It's started to roll out today - check out my blog for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-personal-bookmarks-in-the-power-bi-service/
- I second this motion. Our users liked the ability in Tableau to filter a dashboard how they wanted and then save that view. I was hoping the feature would have the capability for end users to create their own bookmarks as it is one of their biggest complaints about Power BI.
- This is really an important feature! Personalized bookmarks are essential! Otherwise they are only good for storytelling (if everyone's story is the same...)
- It would make Power BI so much more flexible for the users, if this will be implemented.

Bookmark feature is nice, but it seems to only for one page. If there are multiple pages in a report where the user would like to save the filters throughout the report, they would have to set up multiple bookmarks. What would be nice is that they can set the filters on all pages in the report and save it as a single bookmark.- I agree. I have actually included a Main Menu with bookmarks to every report to make navigation simple. However things will get cluttered once users start adding their own...
- Must have this for the users. They are the ones who want to customize for themselves.
- Absolutely need this feature for users who don't own report. Would make the app approach (content pack) way more powerful.
- Definitely need to allow users to control their own bookmarks in the BI Service (browser based). We have employees who have to choose their filters each time they go into the browser, instead of setting them up once and saving as a bookmark.
- This is not very useful for Published reports. Many use cases is for when you publish a report for the business organization like a Sales Performance report. Depending who you are in the Hierarchy of sales reps you likely are looking for your performance and have to apply the same filters each time you go into the reports. It would be useful to allow a user the ability to apply bookmark for each user.
