This feature would allow for multi-page bookmarks and bookmark syncing.
Imagine you have a 3 level hierarchy and want to keep report formatting consistent across all three organizational levels, at this point in time you only have 3 options:
1.) Force your end-users to drill-down on every visual to get the appropriate level. Terrible user-experience.
2.) Set bookmarks on every page that do the drilling for your end-users. Still a poor user-experience.
3.) Create 3 separate but mostly identical reports with only the hierarchical levels differing. Terrible developer experience and limits the legitimate usage of drill-downs.
SOLUTION: Allow us to use entire bookmark groups as bookmarks. This way the developer can bookmark the appropriate views for ALL of our affected visuals and assign them to the appropriate bookmark group. A single click by an end-user will result in the entire report being formatted at the level they need to see.
This comes with the added bonus of making the current bookmark process easier, getting the appropriate bookmark set for multiple visuals on one page is a pain and involves much more trial and error than it should.

Será incrível, quando o power Bi implementar essa funcionalidade, iremos reduzir o tempo gasto com a redundância de outro indicador.
RE: Activate all bookmarks in a group with a click!
Thanks for the clarification. Totally agree this feature would be great.
Are one of the two following options viable workarounds?
I guess another workaround is opting for longer scrollable pages instead of multiple ones (not being able to bookmark the position of the current view and because of performance that‘s not optimal either)
Another solution for your problem could be disabling standard page navigation with hiding all pages and have different buttons being visible or not at the same position depending on the current selected bookmark. (overlaying is not great for developers or requires again additional clicks by users)
RE: Activate all bookmarks in a group with a click!
Disabling the standard navigation page is currently what I'm leaning towards.
In all honesty, just three buttons at the top of each page for the correct view will work for this scenario (most end users are in it for the front page anyways), but I still think being able to use bookmark groups as bookmarks would be a tremendous quality of life improvement for developers.
Thanks for taking some time to share potential solutions with me! It's highly appreciated.
RE: Activate all bookmarks in a group with a click!
Isn't that already possible? Are bookmarks saving the view of all pages or just the view of the selected one?
RE: Activate all bookmarks in a group with a click!
Bookmarks save views of the selected page. The one caveat is that report level filters caught in that bookmark will span multiple pages as they have page sync.
What I'm recommending solves an issue I've always had with Group > Team > Sub Team Hierarchies:
Group wants to see visuals for all their teams, Team wants to see visuals for all their sub-teams, sub-teams want to see visuals for all their locations.
This feature would allow the entire report to switch to the appropriate hierarchy with a click.
PS - you can click bookmarks that affect pages that aren't the active one, but once again there is no way to do all seven of my pages at once. I suppose I could make a "selector" page where you just run down a line and click seven consecutive buttons so you have the appropriate views, but again, poor user-experience.
Thank you for your question!
