It would make it cool to spotlight multiple things in a page so when you bookmark, youre not just looking at one visual.

The amount of work to create dynamic report pages could be greatly reduced all around, and this would be a nifty step in that direction.

Would love to use something like this to build walk-through tutorials into the tool! Ideally, I would have textboxes that are usually hidden, which would explain how to use part of a report, and bookmarks that a user could walk through where the textbox is revealed and is spotlighted, along with the referenced visual.

It'd be great for certain pop-ups as well. Like if I have a bookmark to show a certain text box, being able to highlight both the textbox and the button to close would be so useful in guiding the users through the report.

"With the new option to group visuals it would be helpful to be able to spotlight groups of visuals e.g. to spotlight some narrative in a card along with the visual/visuals that's the subject of the narrative"

This would be SUPER USEFUL for creating in-product user guides (user story flows) and narratives.

And then a more automated option for recording user guides like Dynamics 365 Task Recorder would be great.

This would be amazing if you could couple this with selected visual to make a Feature Tour! Please! So Close!

This would be really helpful, but I think the current way that spotlighting works will need to be changed to work similar to the selections panel, or maybe just update the selection panel to have another column to show visible as well as spotlight.

Agreed - just been trying to provide help on some analytics I did and eventually figured out I could do this.

I would love that feature too. That will make it a best interactive presentation software in the world.
