Personal Access Tokens (PAT) provide individual users the ability to create long-lived authentication tokens for running automation and tools against Tableau REST APIs without requiring hard-coded account credentials in plain text or an interactive login experience.
Sharing improvements
When sharing a dashboard or view that been modified (through selections, filters, zooming, panning), sharing will automatically generate a link that includes these interactions. Simply enter in the names of any named users on the site to send them an email with the dashboard or view image and an optional note.
