Favorites Icon (Star) is missing from Navigation Pane

Hi All, 


I have a strange one - The Favorites Icon (Star) is missing from the Navigation Pane.

I have tried Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox - all with the same outcome - no star

 

Favorites is within the page, but just not in the navigation pane.

 

Can anyone suggest a remedy? My admin doesn't know.

 

Thanks

    I put in a support ticket with Microsoft about this same issue.  They reported it was a bug and they are working to get it fixed.

     

    From MS Support:

     

    I just received an update on this issue.

    This has been identified as a bug today by our Product Group and is a known issue.

    I will keep you posted as soon as I have more information on the fix.

    Interesting, one of my users just reported it as well.  The browse button showed up which taked you the favorites but it makes it an extra step for him.

     

    Hopefully someone has a suggestion.

    My user lost Favorites, Browse & Shared With Me from the nav pane.  They reported this behavior on 3/15/22.  I'm baffled.  Any suggestions?

        HI MP-iCONN 

        Microsoft made thiese UI changes, you can opt out with this Tenant Setting switch (you need a Power BI Admin to update the setting).

        --------------------------------------------------------

        The user account that sees "Browse" was randomly selected as part of an experiment evaluating a potential change to the UI. If the customer would like to opt-out of experiments they can do so by disabling experimentation see User experience experiments admin settings - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

         

        When this feature is enabled, users in the organization will get minor user experience variations, including content, layout, and design, that the Power BI team is experimenting with before they go live for all users.

         

        Hope this helps

    I seriously hope they aren't planning to make this change widely. It's awful. None of our users want this. We disabled experimentation on our tenant as per instructions above from Burningsuit (THANK YOU!!!)

      I think they made it permanent.  I just noticed this now for all my users.  Everyone else see that and any way to turn it back to normal having favorites only on the left side menu?
