Webhooks support
You can now create automated workflows, triggered by events as they happen, with webhooks support for Tableau Online. With webhooks support, the possibilities are endless. You could build workflows that alert users of new content through Slack, or automatically create case tickets within ServiceNow, if an extract fails.
Sandboxed extensions
We've made extensions more flexible. Developers can now create sandboxed extensions, which disable network calls – streamlining the development process from a security standpoint.
Explain Data improvements
With Tableau 2019.4, Explain Data now supports geo-spatial data, unvisualised measures and calculated fields, allowing you to use the capability in more situations.
Control user visibility at the site level
With the user visibility site control, you can limit user-to-user visibility, allowing you to share a single site's content with multiple clients, suppliers and partners.
Level AA accessibility compatibility
Our mission is to help people see and understand their data. With our new Level AA accessibility, everyone will be able to fully interact with a viz in view mode on Tableau Online and Tableau Server using common accessibility tools.
Ask Data improvements
We’re making it easier for you to enable more curated experiences for Ask Data. Admins now have the flexibility to enable or disable Ask Data as the default site setting, helping to ensure that users are only using Ask Data on a subset of curated data sources. We’ve also integrated categorised suggestions to help users understand the various types of analytical questions that can be asked. And finally, calculating year-over-year metrics is as simple as typing “YoY profit growth”, helping you quickly answer critical questions of your data.
SAP HANA connector improvements
Now when you connect to SAP HANA, levelled hierarchies utilised in calculation views will automatically be available in Tableau.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator connector
Gain deeper insights from your Sales Navigator Application Platform (SNAP) data. Connect to and analyse your SNAP data in Tableau, enabling your Sales Operations users to merge, analyse and visualise social selling data alongside their other sales performance reports.
Data quality warnings for Tableau Mobile
Stay on top of the quality of your data that fuels your dashboards, regardless of where you are. Customers who have the Data Management Add-on enabled for a particular site or server will receive data quality warnings on Tableau Mobile.
Activity feed improvements
Filter your personalised Tableau Public activity feed by toggling between activity type. Favourites are now grouped together for the same viz.
Table improvements
Create tables with up to 50 columns with the ability to scroll horizontally. For flat tables, sort entire columns by dimensions and discrete measures across multiple panes.
Auto-recover web authoring sessions
When creating a new workbook in the browser, recover unsaved work to pick up where you left off.
Create extracts in the browser
Skip the Desktop, build extracts directly in the browser to save time and give your laptop a break.
Custom welcome banner for Tableau Server
Ensure that your team finds important resources and information by customising the welcome banner on the Home screen.
Edit tooltips in the browser
Edit tooltips in the browser. Stay in the data flow, create and update tooltips while web authoring.
Map improvements in the browser
Update map settings in the browser. Change map backgrounds, styles, layers and other settings in the browser without having to jump into Desktop.
View recommendations
View recommendations are personalised suggestions that instantly connect you to relevant data and content on your site. Powered by machine learning, these recommendations match preferences between users, surfacing content that others like you have found interesting or useful, including what's most popular and recent.
Go to where a sheet is used
We’re making it faster to navigate larger, complex workbooks that contain multiple sheets. Easily view and jump to all locations in a workbook (dashboards, stories) where a worksheet is used.
For customers using Presto, you can now take full advantage of the innovation of Qubole as a native connector. Available for Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.
Kyvos connector
For customers using Kyvos, you can now natively connect and start analysing your data. Available for Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.

Biometric sign-in for Tableau Mobile
Sign in once and then rely on touch ID and biometrics for future authentication. Use with long-lived tokens for an additional layer of security.
Streamline licence administration with identity-based activations
With identity-based product activations, Tableau administrators can easily reallocate licenses when teams change, activate licences remotely at time of upgrade, and gain the visibility they need to see how many licences are being used across all product types.
The capabilities shown above are not currently available and may not be ready on time or at all. We advise customers to make their purchasing decisions based upon features currently available and upgrade to the latest version of Tableau to enjoy the latest capabilities.
