    This idea has come about from the introduction of personal bookmarks in the PBI Service: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-personal-bookmarks-in-the-power-bi-service/

    Many report creators use bookmarks as a dynamic way of showing/hiding visuals, or navigating between tabs. Exposing an end user to these bookmarks could be confusing for them and expose the underlying workings of the report.

    Personal bookmarks are great, but an option in PBI Desktop to expose certain bookmarks in the PBI Service would satisfy both report creators and consumers.

    I use Bookmarks to create a "slicer menu" that pops in and out. We will be publishing our reports to apps soon and need to be able to hide those bookmarks from the consumers. We want them to be able to see certain bookmarks but not all of them. Please add this ASAP

    Yes. I want to create bookmarks for users to step through the report, but I also use bookmarks to show and hide visuals. The user seeing both can make for a very confusing experience.

    End users should not be exposed to bookmarks unless instructed to do so. It would be beneficial to have ability to hide them from end users.

    Yes, the bookmarks are use to put some extra actions in reports and the visibility by users can be a confusion navigation.

    Agree this is absolutely needed as it remove the app like experience if all users can see bookmarks.
