The presence of any bookmarks in the report should default to show the bookmarks pane or create a method for the report owners to set the bookmarks pane on as a default. Right now, users are not aware of the bookmark preview feature and have to manually turn it on each visit.

Maybe the UI could be combined with the right side menu to also show bookmarks and global report filters.

Not having this feature adds a lot of maintenance overhead. Users want tabs instead of bookmarks! Not I have to update all the tabs. Please add this feature.

It is pain to keep turning on the bookmark on as you progress thru a demo. Is there a way to turn on Bookmarks for all reports. It is really annoying if you have to go thru multiple reports.

There should be an option to show/hide bookmarks for each report when publishing. If not, then please turn it on by default.

Agreed ! Enable bookmark pane in Power BI Pro.
Also, Enable the drill down button for tiles as well. Please
We cannot tell client to enable the bookmark & drilldown button and use the functionality.
Thanks

Totally agree with this one. Many users don't have the knowledge or time to dig around and make sure to enable all the features that will help.
