Symptom
Widget Resizing Changes Not Reflected in Existing Bookmarks of a Story in SAC
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud 2025.21.11
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SAC
- Open a story in view mode
- Navigate to Bookmarks and select Bookmark Current State.
- Provide a name, e.g., "Test," and check 'Public' if you want to create a global bookmark.
- Open the story in edit mode
- Change the position or resize any widget.
- Save the story
- Open the story in view mode
- Navigate to Bookmarks and open Saved Bookmarks, e.g., "Test."
Notice : The widget remains in its initial position and does not reflect the updated position in the bookmark "Test"
Cause
This is by design behavior of the product.
- Bookmarks save a view of a story, reflecting changes made by drilling, applying filters, sorting, ranking, or other customizations that do not permanently alter the default version of the story.
- When users apply a bookmark, the bookmarked widgets replace the original story widgets.
- The replacement occurs "by widgets," meaning bookmark application checks each widget for replacement. Newly created pages/widgets, which are not captured in the bookmark content after its creation, are unaffected by bookmark application.
