Personal Bookmark Overwriting Updates to Filter Pane
- Anonymous6 months ago
Hi Hannahllmm ,
You're definitely on the right track with your thinking. Right now, embedded reports don’t have a built-in way to stop personal bookmarks from restoring everything to how it was saved including slicers and visual filters. That’s just how bookmarks work, even when embedded.
There’s nothing in the embed setup that can change this. The usual workaround is to let the bookmark load as normal, and then use the JavaScript Embed API to quickly reapply your required filter. Since your filter runs right after the bookmark, it ends up being what the user sees. If your filter is something that should always stick, it’s best to build that logic into the semantic model or DAX layer so bookmarks can’t override it. But if you can’t change the model, just reapplying the filter in your code is the way to go.
Thank you.
Unfortunately there’s no way to “protect” a visual-level filter from being overwritten by existing personal bookmarks. When a user re-applies an old personal bookmark, Power BI restores the filter snapshot from the time it was created.
