Favorite dashboards, reports, and apps in the Power BI service
APPLIES TO: Power BI service for business users Power BI service for designers & developers Power BI Desktop Requires Pro or Premium license
When you make content a favorite, you can access it quickly from the Favorites content list. Favorites are typically content that you visit most often and are identified with a filled star.
Add a dashboard or report as a favorite
Open a dashboard or report that you use often. Even content that is shared with you can be a favorite.
From the upper menu bar of the Power BI service, select Add to Favorites or the star icon.
You can also favorite a dashboard or report from anywhere you see the star icon, such as Home, Recent, Apps, and Shared with me.
Work with favorites
You have several options for viewing your favorites.
To see all the content that you added as favorites, on the Browse pane, select the Favorites tab.
From here, you can take action. You can open a favorite, identify owners, and even share favorites with your colleagues.
Favorites are also available from Power BI Home. If you selected the Expanded display mode, your favorites are listed in the Favorites + frequents section. If you selected the Simplified display mode, your favorites are listed in the Favorites tab.
Unfavorite content
If you no longer use a report, dashboard, or app as often as you used to, you can unfavorite it. When you unfavorite content, it's removed from your Favorites list but not from Power BI. Just select the black star to turn it back to a white star.
Considerations and limitations
When you set an app as a favorite, it automatically favorites all the reports and dashboards for that app. It isn't possible to favorite individual app reports or dashboards.
