How to Capture and Restore Report State (Like BooHow to Capture and Reskmarks) in Power BI Embedded?

Hi everyone,

In Power BI Desktop, I’ve created a matrix visual where the columns are managed using a field parameter, allowing users to rearrange the column positions dynamically.

In the Power BI Service, I can use Bookmarks to capture the state of the dashboard — such as field parameter selections or applied filters — and return to that state when the bookmark is selected.

However, we do not access the report directly in the Power BI Service. Instead, we view it through a Power BI Embedded setup (embedded on a website/portal).

My question is:
Is it possible to achieve similar bookmark functionality (capture and return to a saved state) in an embedded Power BI report?

If not directly supported, what alternative approach or solution can be used to achieve a similar result — for example, saving the user’s current filter selections or field parameter configuration and restoring them later?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!
