Unexpected Drop-Down Arrow in Left Navigation (Power BI App – Service)
Community SupportHi Wojnar,
Yes, I agree with your point. The drop-down arrow in the Power BI App navigation can be confusing for business users, especially when there are no child pages to show. This seems to be a UI limitation based on the report’s internal metadata, not something we can adjust. Even if all pages are hidden or only one page is visible, the navigation still displays the drop-down arrow. For now, the best option is to keep app navigation simple and use clear report names to reduce any confusion. Hopefully, Microsoft will improve this in future updates to make the navigation visuals match the actual content better.
Thank you,
Community Member.
Wishful thinking. I’ve been working with this tool for so many years that I don’t believe in such fixes anymore. Where exactly am I supposed to report it? Another Idea that ends up in a five-year backlog?

Hi Wojnar,
I understand your concern, the drop-down indicator can be confusing when there are no accessible child pages.
Currently, this is a UI limitation in Power BI App navigation, based on the report’s internal metadata. There isn’t a supported option to remove or hide the drop-down arrow when pages are hidden.
My suggesstion is to request improvements, you can submit feedback through the Fabric Ideas portal. You may create a new idea or upvote an existing one if a similar request already exists:

Thank you.
