Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert navigation buttons into your Power BI report.

Quick summary

Adding navigation buttons in Power BI lets report authors insert interactive Navigator controls that guide viewers between pages or visuals. You can place and resize these buttons anywhere on the report canvas using the built-in Buttons menu.


Steps

  1. Head over to the top menu bar and click 'Buttons'.
  2. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'Navigator' option and choose the navigator type you wish to add.
  3. Drag the navigator to your desired position on the canvas, then resize it by dragging the resize handles around its corners.
  4. Once complete, the selected navigation button will be added to your Power BI report.

📌 Why this matters

Navigation buttons in Power BI transform static reports into guided, interactive experiences that help users move between pages and visuals without confusion. Adding a Navigator control improves report usability and makes self-service analytics more accessible for non-technical stakeholders. For Power BI report authors and BI developers, mastering navigation button placement is a key skill for building polished, production-ready dashboards. This feature reduces reliance on default page tabs and gives designers full control over report flow and user experience.
