Query folding in Power Query is not consistent, and to find out what part of a query did not fold, users need to right click on each step to find out whether the folding succeeded.
Can we please get a highlight for steps that are not folding correctly, so that we know where to focus our efforts?

Query folding indicators exist today in Power Query Online and will be coming to the Desktop in a future release - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/step-folding-indicators

RE: Highlight non-folding power query steps

It would be very useful to see all querys on power query with an indicator (I think is possible to many ways to implement in front end) to indicates if each query has a query folding in all steps on query or not.

When we are using models with complex relationships and too may query we need to squeeze the performance.

If we have a rapid visualization over querys, would be possible to put the focus on carry out the neccesary improvements to maintenance the query folding.

RE: Highlight non-folding power query steps

Great idea as query folding is very important.
I have also noticed that some steps are not shown as folded even though they are. The proof of that is that the next step is showed as folded.
