Bookmarks are a powerful feature of Power BI that allow you to capture the state of a report page and save this state to be referred to at a later time. When creating a bookmark, the following elements are saved as part of the bookmark definition:

• The current page, along with all of the visuals on the page
• Any and all filters, including the state of slicers and selections within visuals (such as cross-highlight filters)
• Sort order of visuals
• Drill location of visuals
• Visibility of visuals and shapes
• The Focus and Spotlight settings of visuals and shapes

There are many uses for bookmarks. Bookmarks can be used as an aid to report viewers so that they can reset the report page to a default state, removing any and all filters and slicer selections that they have chosen. Bookmarks can also be created and grouped as a collection and used to create a step-by-step presentation in order to tell a story of interesting findings or insights.
