I'm looking for a way to remove the pages pane from a published application but still keep the top portion of the chrome(?) to allow exporting and such. I've tried the ?chromeless=1 in the link of the application but couldn't find the correct place in the URL to put it in order for it to work. However, I will still need to top portion of the "chrome". Seems odd that Power Bi now has a page navigator button option but you still need to see the "Pages" pane to the left of the report. Is there a way to get rid of the Pages Pane?
If you use Page Navigator button in your report, the Pages pane is redundant.
Try this:
Hide all your pages but the main landing page (must have only 1 unhidden page) in Power BI desktop ( or Edit mode in Power BI Service ). Then format your navigator button to show Hidden pages.
After you republish ( or save in Power BI service ), the Pages pane should disappear and you can navigate to other pages using the navigator button.
If you are publishing a report app, then turn off the New navigation builder
The only issue with this is that I have hidden pages that I need to remain hidden.
Yeah I had the same issue. It could be a good idea that we can submit to Microsoft, like pick and choose the page that we want to show.
My work around is to create navigation by using multiple blank-buttons. More work but thats the only way i can keep the hidden ones, hidden.
Another option is drop-down navigation, also require some more work to set it up, but it could work.

I used this, multiple blank buttons. Yes a bit of extra work but a much more elegant solution 👍
