    how Personal Bookmarks can corrupt.

    There is no workaround.  Bookmarks capture metadata at the time of the bookmark creation. If you subsequently change the report design, then these bookmarks will be impacted and can become corrupted.

     

    Limit your design changes. Teach users how to recreate their personal bookmarks. Consider using common bookmarks (the ones you create in Power BI Desktop before publishing.  Use the "Chat in Teams" feature to capture and distribute bookmarks on the fly."

    Hi euler59 ,

    When you change the report name and publish it to Power BI Service, end-users' bookmarks may no longer work. This is because bookmarks are saved with the report page name and if the report name is changed, the bookmarks will no longer be able to find the report page

     

    When you change the report or dataset name in Power BI, it can affect the end-users' bookmarks because the bookmark references the report or dataset name. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

    1. Update the bookmark: You can update the bookmark to reference the new report or dataset name.

    2. Republish the report: You can republish the report with the new report or dataset name, and then ask the end-users to update their bookmarks.
