Most reports need a little explaining: what a metric means, where the numbers come from, how to use the page. The tidy way to add that is a panel readers can open when they want it and close when they're done — but building one by hand in Power BI Desktop is fiddly. You're stacking a group container, a background shape, a textbox, icon buttons, and two bookmarks, then lining up the panel's coordinates, wiring the bookmark IDs, and getting the layering right across a pile of JSON files. This skill builds the whole thing in one command — the button, the panel, the title and text box, the icons, and the show/hide bookmarks — so all that's left for you is to type in your wording — run it with /info-panel.

How it works

Type /info-panel, provide the page ID, and the skill builds everything:

  1. Locates the report definition folder and confirms the page directory exists

  2. Inherits the label font from any existing textbox on the page (falls back to theme defaults if none)

  3. Creates a group container covering the panel bounds, positioned right-aligned by default

  4. Creates a white rounded background rectangle inside the group

  5. Creates a close icon button (top-right of panel) and title textbox (left of close button)

  6. Creates a content textbox filling the panel body with placeholder text

  7. Creates an info icon button on the main page layer (always visible, outside the group)

  8. Registers 4 SVG icons in the static resources and wires them to buttons

  9. Creates two bookmarks: ShowInfoPanel (makes all panel visuals visible) and HideInfoPanel (makes all panel visuals hidden), both registered in bookmarks.json

What you get

  • Group container — wraps all panel visuals into a single layer; hidden by default

  • Background rectangle — white rounded rectangle filling the panel bounds

  • Title textbox — bold label at the top of the panel

  • Content textbox — editable body area with placeholder text

  • Close button — icon button at the top-right of the panel; fires HideInfoPanel bookmark

  • Info button — icon button on the main page (always visible); fires ShowInfoPanel bookmark

  • ShowInfoPanel bookmark — wired to the info button; makes the group and all child visuals visible

  • HideInfoPanel bookmark — wired to the close button; makes the group and all child visuals hidden

  • 4 registered SVG icons — info and close in default and hover states

All panel visuals start hidden (on the group container only). The info button is always visible on the main page layer.
