Tableau Cloud Release Preview Sites are Now Available

Tableau Cloud Release Preview Sites Allow Admins, Users Ability to Explore New Features 

Release Preview for Tableau Cloud is a game-changing feature that gives Tableau Admins and users with Tableau+ early access to upcoming major releases of Tableau Cloud. This capability - available as of April 2025 - allows organizations to create and maintain dedicated Release Preview sites, where customers can explore, test, and prepare for new Tableau Cloud features.

Why We Built Release Preview Sites for Tableau Cloud

Staying on top of product updates is essential for organizations that rely on Tableau Cloud for mission-critical projects and data-driven decision-making. However, adapting to new features and functional changes can sometimes be challenging, especially when they impact workflows, dashboards, or embedded content.

Now that’s changed with Release Preview. By launching Release Preview sites, we’re empowering organizations to confidently navigate Tableau Cloud updates.

How You’ll Benefit from Release Preview Sites for Tableau Cloud

With 2+ weeks early access to major releases, organizations can enhance their Tableau Cloud experience by:

• Getting hands-on access to new features before they are officially released.
• Assessing configurations and integrations on the upcoming release to ensure adjustments can be proactively made for other production sites.
• Ensuring a seamless transition by training teams and preparing stakeholders in advance.
