Add option to remove the "Go back" button in Power BI Apps - Or at least call it: "Power BI Home"

A huge range of app use cases don’t involve the Power BI homepage at all, so why do we need a button that takes you “back” there?

In my own tenant, only a small percent of users ever discover the button — and when they do, it usually causes confusion.
Most of our audience comes in through our company intranet or a saved bookmark directly to the app. Hitting “Go back” takes them somewhere unfamiliar (Power BI home) and disrupts their workflow.

This could be fixed with one of two approaches:

  1. Let admins remove or hide the button entirely
  2. Or at least rename it to something clearer like “Power BI Home” so expectations match what it does

Either way, making this change would help avoid confusion and keep users focused on the content that matters most: the app itself.
