This idea has come about from the introduction of personal bookmarks in the PBI Service: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-personal-bookmarks-in-the-power-bi-service/
Many report creators use bookmarks as a dynamic way of showing/hiding visuals, or navigating between tabs. Exposing an end user to these bookmarks could be confusing for them and expose the underlying workings of the report.
Personal bookmarks are great, but an option in PBI Desktop to expose certain bookmarks in the PBI Service would satisfy both report creators and consumers.

RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Agreed this is an issue. I use bookmarks to show/hide filter pane. If a user clicks on these then they will be kerfuffled for certain! I want to teach people about user bookmarks but because of this it's too confusing.
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Agree
it makes users confused.
I use bookmarks for technical navigation or reasons
So please add this functionality
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
The need for this is self evident. Just like how a report author can hide the filters pane from end users, the report author should be able to hide report level bookmarks. Why would an end user be required to be presented with distracting inner workings of the report? I can see some use cases where the showing the active bookmark might be desired (though not relevant to me) but this is really the exception to the rule. Current functionality assumes it is the other way around.
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Agree we need this
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Yes! I would like to encourage my users to use personal bookmarks more, but I'm a bit hesitant to do so, cause I'm afraid they will be confused by all the navigational bookmarks in the reports.
(Can't believe this issue has been lurking around here for more than two years!)
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
an option to show/hide the bookmarks, even in the mobile version show or hide the title bar of bookmark
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Highly desirable!
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
Agree
RE: Control which bookmarks are viewable in the service
I use Bookmarks to create a "slicer menu" that pops in and out. We will be publishing our reports to apps soon and need to be able to hide those bookmarks from the consumers. We want them to be able to see certain bookmarks but not all of them. Please add this ASAP

GO GO GO :)
