RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

Microsoft - this would be the single biggest QOL improvement you could make to PowerBI. Can we please get this as soon as possible?

Hello Microsoft, is there any update on this? Since the previous launch of Fabric which introduces much more artefacts in one workspace view, this request becomes much more important. Is there any plan on releasing this feature when Fabric becomes "ga" ?

Any idea when will this be released? It's a very basic feature available in all other BI tools

Agreed. I shared this on a similar post, but this has been an idea (link) on the Power BI board for a long time (2015). When only talking about Power BI objects (Dataflow, Dataset, Report, Dashboard), this has already been tricky, but Fabric introduces a BUNCH of new objects, and having the ability to organize them is essential.


Would be nice if tagging/metadata fields were also made available, but I'll take what I can get.

Any update? Been in the pipeline for about a year as 'planned'? It would be a massive improvement on the BI platform.
