Add the ability to edit interactions from the 'Selection' pane (or a separate pane).
We are using a combination of buttons and bookmarks to show/hide visualizations so it is difficult to edit interactions on all of the overlapping hidden vizualisations. Having this functionality in a pane would make editing interactions much easier.

RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
It would be very useful if you add the EDIT INTERACTIONS icon (the slashed filled/empty circle) to the filter list that appears when you clicked in the dashed down arrow on top of every visual.This will be very, very useful when simulating tabs (a real pain, actually, because there is no multi-tabs object)
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
As Power BI has matured, more individuals use sophisticated "layering" (bookmarks) to achieve a dashboard's desired look and feel. However, managing this process with the interactions of different "controls" on different bookmarks is cumbersome. A panel to check/uncheck and manage interactivity between controls that reside on different bookmarks would be a huge productivity enhancement. As it stands, the process is a "time suck" that is prone to errors.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
The current format for this function requires changing visualization layering, editing the interaction, and then returning the layering to the desired state. It's extremely inefficient. A pane for interactions would significantly increase my efficiency.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
That would be awesome and I add to that, a necessity of a button that edits interactions in several graphs, without having to click on one at a time.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
This is an excellent and very needed improvement. Even a feature to toggle the default on a page (currently everything is defaulted to interaction) would be a vast improvement.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
This is such a great request!
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
It is a feature that is frequently used but very difficult to manage on power bi. It is necessary to provide convenience in this regard. We should be able to manage the interaction of an image with all other images with a single button.

I have created a UX design which can allow easy editing and bulk selection. It also offers two-way approach (From and To) allowing to see all visuals affecting selected visual easily. Here is the UX of Interaction Pane:Picture3.png (2878×1990) (raw.githubusercontent.com)
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
How do we merge with other ideas? This is just like an idea I submitted Jan 2022 (I know I should have searched first and just voted on this one). Microsoft Idea (powerbi.com)I can't believe this is not getting more votes!! A general search brings up lots of pain points with regards to managing interactions in Power BI.
RE: Edit interactions from selection pane
I couldn't agree more with Power BI Desktop requiring an overhaul to "Edit Interactions".As soon as you have a dashboard with a handful of filters and visuals, then add graphics, text, labels, shapes etc - editing interactions becomes a nightmare.I had the exact same idea, why not implement a simple series of interaction icons to the selection pane.Then all I have to do is select a visual and all other elements in the selection pane provide the usual couple of icons for filter, highlight and don't filter.This simple feature would make it more efficient and save the sanity of any Power BI dev when managing interactions!Lets start with that and improve from there.Cheers
