    Dear Power BI team,

    When working with large databases containing several tables (for example Salesforce), that contain a lot of relationships it can become a big miss of relationships. Also if there are a few loops in your schema that you want to eliminate with calculated tables, the schema can expand rapidly.

    So create some order into this potential chaos I have some suggestions:

    - The ability to hide inactive relationships

    - Color code tables
    (for example distinguish fact and dimension tables or maybe different data sources)

    - icons for calculated tables
    (easily distinguish between imported and your own calculated tables).

    Thanks for all the work you guys put in this product. keep it up!

    Please also add the ability to 'Add Comments' in the Relationship View for each table. Ideally, Ability to quickly identify source, etc.

    'This would be great. Other things to consider:
    -Adding ability to draw a canvas/pane around certain parts of the model
    -Adding text headings to label the source/purpose of a group of tables
