The new app navigation experience is great but can take up a good chunk of screen retail space.

The option to collapse/uncollapse the navigation pane would be a great feature for users, allowing them to focus entirely on the report/dashboard

We've released an update to the app navigation experiences that includes the ability to collapse the left navigation. Read all about it in our blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-designing-custom-navigation-for-power-bi-apps-is-now-generally-available-ga/

RE: Collapse App Navigation Pane

I have an app with a couple reports connected via filtered url's.The navigation pane causes problems because the filtering needed then doesn't flow to each report.In this app the navigation pane is very confusing. I would like to hide it completely not just collapse it. A user could uncollapse the navitagion pane again, and be very confused...

RE: Collapse App Navigation Pane

Is this feature only available in the web version? I can't seem to see when viewing my app within the Power BI app from the Microsoft Store.

The app left navigation pane expand/collapse feature is great, especially for Power BI content. However, I've discovered that for paginated reports deployed in the service, the collapse (>) button is not visible.

There is a new feature called "Pages" which allows you to hide the pages pane in the Power BI published app.

RE: Collapse App Navigation Pane

To whoever asked how to implement the code:

javascript:( () =>{nav=document.getElementsByTagName('app-navigation-pane')[0];nav.style.display==='none' ? nav.style.display='' : nav.style.display='none';}) ()

You just create a bookmark in your web browser with the above as the address and after you have opened the app as usual you then click on the bookmark separately and the app will open without the navigation pane.
