Advocate IIIPersistent filters and bookmarks
Hi jdobrzen,
It seems the Budgets switch and the slicer of dates are custom visual. It may not work with bookmark. Please refer to desktop-bookmarks#limitations-and-considerations.
>>>Custom visuals do not work with bookmarking if they are the source of the filter. If you're using custom visuals to filter elements on a page (for example, the chiclet slicer) and return to that page using a bookmark, the page may be filtered but the custom visual won't be updated to show how the page is being filtered.
Best Regards,

As I have been turning off persistent filtering for any solution that I employeed bookmarking for, I have revisted the limitations that you cited and am not entierly convinced that's the issue.
The Budgets On and Off or the date range buttons that I have linked bookmarks too, are not custom visuals. They are image objects available on the Home tab of Power BI Desktop. And it is not only the image buttons that are getting mixed up by the persistent filtering. Also, any other standard visual (i.e. matrix, slicer, etc.) that I may be hiding or unhinding is getting reset to its default visibility when navigating to and from the report.
This problem is new to March's Power BI update that includes persistent filtering. Again, it's not so much a problem with bookmarking and custom visuals as it is the visibility of objects not being persisted when the rest of the report is (i.e. slicer selections, report filters, page filters, etc.).
