The current bookmarking feature requires report creators to define bookmarks. Ideally, users would be able to save personalized bookmarks (similar to web browser) in addition to the author's pre-defined bookmarks.
For example, I might have a project management report or sales by stores. Each user of the report may have their own set of projects or stores that they want to quickly navigate between. These are relevant to the current users and not other users of the reports.

Thank you for all for being patient. I'm excited to announce that we're bringing personal bookmarks to all reports in the Power BI service. It's started to roll out today - check out my blog for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-personal-bookmarks-in-the-power-bi-service/

RE: Personalized Bookmarks
ETA? We have lots of users and the biggest complaint is that they can only favorite Apps and not individual reports. Can't wait for this awesome feature.
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
I would like to reiterate: When this is rolled out, there NEEDS to be an option for users to share these bookmarks. A user has to be able to set the slicers as needed, and then send a link to the colleague, "Please have a look at THIS". Not: "Please have a look at this, and don't forget to set 15 slicers as I am instructing you to, otherwise we are not looking at the same numbers."
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Great news!! Thanks @Nikhil!
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
I think it is also important that the bookmarks work within reports deployed through and APP and that those bookmarks will feed the Export to Powerpoint Feature.
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
*********,
It is great to know you are already working on this topic. Do you have any updates?
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Great news that this is coming soon.
I agree that the bookmarks created by end users need to be shareable!
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Great to read that this is underway. Please implement a feature allowing “authors”/users to “protect their bookmarks from being accidentally updated. For example, if the developer sets bookmarks to default sertings for slicers etc, these should not be “update”-able
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Yes, personal bookmarks would be a fantastic feature. It would save a great deal of time which could be used to mine the data further.
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Yes, this would be a great added feature.
RE: Personalized Bookmarks
Any update on this? This is a huge pain point for our users that they cannot save their filter combinations. We would need this to work for reports inside of Apps (not just workspaces) as that is how we are delivering our content.
I realize this is similar to https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/8141748-save-user-filters-on-reports and and https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/15198462-persisting-default-selections-for-different-users. However, persisting the last settings will only save one set of filters, when users may require several filter combinations for a single report.
