Pause visuals from loading

Is there a way to pause visuals from loading? I have a team using a report that consists of a large table visual. They scroll down the table, move away from that report page, and when they move back ...

    The only option is the delayed apply button.

    Power BI re-renders visuals every time you navigate back to a page, and there is no native setting to preserve scroll position between page navigations. The Pause Visuals option in the Optimize ribbon is a development tool for pausing rendering while authoring, not an end-user feature.

     

    Option 1) As an alternative you couls try using paginated report instead.

     

    Option 2) Build table page navigation buttons as described below video:

Hi RossS 

We cannot pause visuals for end user interaction or preserve scroll position. Optimize - Pause visuals works only for design time authoring but not for user navigation behavior and does not persist after page switch.

 

So, Desktop workaround is to reduce table size by applying filters / Top N and avoiding long scrolling tables. Using drillthrough instead of page switching.
