We use the model of separate ingestion / compute dataflows and linked entities / computed entities; however, we face a problem for our dataflow consumers. When they look at the entities they cannot figure out which entity is a computed entity and which is not a computed entity so they're confused. We've tried to add a naming convention to computed entities and add them to a group within the dataflow interface, but that doesn't work for many users since they still pull the wrong entities because the grouping doesn't appear in Power BI Desktop or PowerApps.

It would be very beneficial to either have folder groupings for dataflows be visible or the ability to hide without disable load for entities in a dataflow.
