  I would like the Document Map (Bookmarks) to display as the default Sidebar when the Viewer is opened.

  Currently the Thumbnails are displayed by default.

  My report has Bookmarks, and they are displayed if you navigate to the Document Map panel in the Sidebar, but the Thumbnails display is useless for large reports.

  Is there any way to change this default?

  Hello,

  You could “Label” property of Report items to achieve the same. Please refer the report for implementing the same.
  
  Note: Please change the connection string of the datasource to run the report

  Also, you can refer the following documentation link:

  Hope it helps.

  Thanks,

  I was able to iterate through the controls in the viewer to find the ToolStripItem for the “btnToc” control.

  If you call the ToolStripItem.PerformClick() method after the report is loaded in the viewer it will display the Table of Contents instead of the Thumbnails.
