When a bookmark is selected in Power BI, which visualizations have their bookmarked filters applied?

• A. Only the visualizations added afterward.
• B. Only the previous visualizations that existed when the bookmark was created.
• C. All visualizations, regardless of when they were added.
• D. No visualizations have filters applied.

Answer: (B)

In Power BI, bookmarks capture the current state of a report page, including filters, slicers, and the visibility of visuals at the time the bookmark is created. Therefore, when a bookmark is selected, it applies the filters and settings stored during that bookmark's creation to the visualizations that were present at that time. This means that only the visualizations that existed when the bookmark was created will reflect the bookmarked filters. Any visualizations added after the bookmark was created will not inherit those filters because their state was not captured in the bookmark. Hence, the correct understanding is that only the previous visualizations that existed when the bookmark was created have their filters applied. This behavior emphasizes the importance of planning the bookmark's setup by considering which visualizations to include before creating it, especially in a dynamic report where visualizations may be added or removed later.
