It is great that we can edit the interactions between visuals in PBI - but we need to be able to manage this differently.
It is sometimes necessary to set up complex interactions - and debugging can be difficult when this is done.

Example - I have a report with six matrix tables, and six filters - I need some of the filters to interact with only two tables, and leave the others alone. Other filters need to interact with four of the tables, but not to interact with each other.
This can get complicated to review when a filter was not set up properly.

In order to see what is affecting a table, I have to click on each of the visuals and/or filters separately to see how they interact when the table I am reviewing.

I have seen other requests for a pane to handle visuals, and I think that might be the best solution.

My suggestion - a pane similar to the visualizations pane (it changes to show only the visual you have clicked on). In that pane, have two sections - one for "interacts with" where we can see all the items that visual affect - the second section would be "is affected by" where we can see how all of the items interact with that visual.
