Hide the navigation pane - Permanently
Hi jerryr125 ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.
The solution provided by rajendraongole1 is indeed correct he outlined a great approach for temporarily hiding the navigation pane using the " >> " icon and suggested using "Fit to screen" or "Focus mode" in Power BI Service to reduce distractions.
For a more permanent solution to ensure the navigation pane remains hidden each time users open the report, you can append the following parameter to the report URL: &navContentPaneEnabled=false
This approach works both for direct links and embedded reports (e.g., on a website or portal) just include the same parameter in the embed URL.
If you’re publishing the report as part of a Power BI App, you can also customize the app’s navigation layout during setup to further control the user experience.
I hope my suggestions give you good idea, if you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Thank you.
Hi jerryr125 - If you just want to temporarily hide the pane, click on the ">>" icon at the top left of the Power BI window. This collapses the pane, but it will reappear when the file is reopened.
If you want to permanently hide the Navigation Pane for all users when they open the report in Power BI Service
Go to Power BI Service (app.powerbi.com).
Open the report you want to modify.
Click on the three-dot menu (...) in the top-right corner.
Select "Fit to screen" or "Focus mode" to minimize distractions.
