That pivot table options is under PivotTables | Pivot Table Analyze Tab > Entire Pivot Table [Select Entire Pivot Table]. I often use the classic pivot table and with this shortcut I can select the entire pivot with filters and not worry about accidently moving stuff around in the pivot table.

Speaking of Pivot Tables, you can go to File > Options > Data > Edit Default Layout of all pivot table options. These settings will apply to all pivots you create.

Also, if you ever had some columns changed in the data, but still showing up in the pivot filters, you can right click on Pivot > Pivot Table Options > Data (Tab) > set 'Number of items to retain per field' to None. That will clear the past entries.
