It would be nice if you can pre-define the behavior of a new visual on existing (including personal) bookmarks.
Like pre-hide the visual or set x-axis date hierarchy by default on year, month instead of only year when you have year, month, day available. Would be nice if this process is triggered by some 'recording' button on a visual (like drill down/up button) or something. If you press it and you set filters and setting, then all applied filters will be added to all available bookmarks and only overridden when you manually update bookmarks.
I had a post on the Desktop forum earlier with some helpful print screens to show the problem.

RE: Pre-set behavior with new/existing visuals for existing Bookmarks
I had a thought about this to make it effective.
To start of, any personal bookmark created on Power BI Service will be considered as an addition on top of an existing bookmark in the report. If you change something in the original bookmark, the personal bookmark will change accordingly. This way an analyst can assure data quality across his reports to prevent that people work with out-to-date bookmarks.
Each dashboard you have in a report has a 'hidden' (or visible but irremovable) default bookmark. When you save the report, the current setting under which it has been saved will be record as the 'default', unless you saved the report based on progress after opening a customer bookmark.
This way if you add a visual, or change the layout of the visual and store this change under the default bookmark, the visuals won't create a mess on the out-to-date personal bookmark based on that dashboard.
