Tableau 2025.2 is coming soon
Check back to explore the new features coming soon to Tableau

Show Me 2.0
Tableau’s classic Show Me just got even better. With an improved experience designed to help users get started faster, all visualisation types are now available upfront – no need to select fields first. This update lowers the barrier to entry for new users by making it easier to explore data or let Tableau suggest a starting point. It’s the same trusted feature, now even more intuitive and welcoming.

Dynamic colour ranges
Dynamic colour ranges help you highlight what matters, even with outliers in your data. Instead of filtering, use parameters to adjust your colour scale and focus attention where it counts. It’s a fast, flexible way to keep your charts clear and insightful.

Dynamic spatial parameters
With dynamic spatial parameters, you can filter data by map viewport, use the zoom to scale marks and keep multiple maps in sync – all without reloading.

Tableau Pulse: Enhanced Q&A – metric filtering and comparisons
Unlock what's driving your business performance through freeform, conversational questions. Analyse and compare data through dimensions in a fully conversational experience.

Tableau Pulse: Enhanced Q&A – multilingual support
Enhance scalability and reduce misinterpretation of your business by asking questions in your preferred language. Explore insights in your local language, regardless of what’s used in the company data or site settings.

Tableau Pulse: Custom calendar
Ensure you’re analysing relevant information by customising calendar dates. Match specific business reporting needs with custom calendar definitions rather than the standard Gregorian calendar.
Tableau Agent: Incremental improvements
The latest Tableau Agent has been enhanced to better meet user needs and optimise the experience across the analytics journey, with improvements to areas like suggested questions and follow-up suggestions. Tableau Agent is also now available in French Canadian and Korean.

Tableau Pulse: Certify metric definitions
Discern which metrics can be trusted to help users make informed business decisions. A green icon displayed in the Pulse experience provides additional context, certifying that the given metric is trusted and recommended.

Tableau Pulse: Configure decimal places
Manually adjust how many places to round to for Pulse metric values.

Tableau Pulse: Custom daily comparison
Ensure data relevance by comparing specific dates in Pulse metrics. Tailoring the comparison to a date, rather than standard time ranges, allows users to accurately compare changes to their data.

Tableau Pulse: Mute metrics from Insight Summary
Focus metrics in Insight Summaries to highlight what's most important and mute less critical metrics to not appear. Users can continue to track muted metrics to keep tabs on the information in their Pulse experience.

Tableau Pulse: Filtering in Mobile
Understand data in specific dimensions to make more informed decisions by applying filters to Pulse metrics. View additional dimensions or apply exclusions to double-click into the results.

Trusted viz extension on Public
Safely experiment with partner-built visualisations to bolster your storytelling. Viz extensions branded as trusted in Tableau Exchange will be available for use in Tableau Public.

Profile organisation: Manual categorisation
Take control of how visualisations appear on your profile. Group vizzes into categories as you see fit to build out your portfolio with full autonomy.

Content Exploration Hub: Recommender tab
A one-stop shop for relevant and inspirational content. A centralised place for users to discover content, access learning resources and connect with the DataFam.

Author empowerment quick wins
Build connections and grow your community like never before with improved visibility. Authors can grow their following and see who has interacted with their visualizations. And the author preview card makes it easy to navigate and discover author profiles.

Multiple external IdPs for SCIM on a site
Provision users and groups to Tableau using your identity provider (IdP) as the source of truth. Tableau now has multiple-IdP support for authentication, supporting user and group provisioning scenarios through the standards-compliant SCIM 2.0 feature. Admins can enable up to 20 IdPs for SCIM on a site to establish a connection between their IdP and Tableau Cloud site.
Tableau Exchange + Tableau Cloud
The following Tableau Exchange connectors are now compatible with Tableau Bridge: MotherDuck/DuckDB, dbt Semantic Layer and StarRocks.
Palantir Foundry connector
The Palantir Foundry connector and driver are now available out of the box in Tableau Cloud, making Palantir Foundry available for web authoring and enabling published workbooks, data sources and flows to connect without Bridge.

Arriving as a native connector in Summer 2025
New connectors in Tableau Exchange
CData Virtuality, MongoDB SQL Interface, MotherDuck/DuckDB and StarRocks connectors are now available for you to download from Tableau Exchange to add to your Tableau deployment.
Single-use refresh tokens
Tableau now handles single-use refresh tokens to optimise users’ data connectivity experience for Box.com and Databricks connectors. Once you save OAuth credentials for a data source, Tableau will automatically handle refresh token rotation. Customers and partners can also enable this capability in their connectors developed using the Tableau Connector SDK.

Tableau app for Google Workspace
Reduce unnecessary processes with a new version of the Tableau app for Google Workspace. It provides a native Tableau interface within Google Docs and Google Slides, so with one click, you can embed vizzes or Pulse metrics and refresh the content when you need it. This free app is available to all Tableau Cloud customers.
Tableau Cloud: Switzerland region
Meet legal and data-residency requirements and increase performance for local users in the Switzerland region. Customers can select the Switzerland pod when creating a site in Tableau Cloud Manager.
Available in August

Private Connect: Additional connectors
Enhance your security by keeping the connection to data private and off the public internet. Tableau Cloud customers can now connect their AWS-hosted databases, such as PGSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, OracleDB and Aurora, to Tableau Cloud using the AWS Private Link, which provides a secure, dedicated and private connection, avoiding exposure to the public internet.
Additionally, Private Connect can have cross-region connectivity for Redshift, PGSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, OracleDB and Aurora. It also offers virtual connection support.
Tableau Cloud PCI compliance
Customers within the financial services sector can now leverage Salesforce Hyperforce controls and implement additional safeguards within your Tableau Cloud environment to meet PCI 4.0 requirements and analyse PCI-protected data.

Session recovery improvements
Tableau has extended offline visualisation interactivity for users during session recovery, even for large vizzes. Minimise downtime, especially in time-sensitive scenarios like presentations, and avoid getting error banners. When offline and reconnecting, a new button will replace the "Offline" indicator in the toolbar, allowing you to continue offline interactions. The button will inform you of the reconnect status, while interactions requiring server commands will be disabled until the connection is restored.

Admin Insights: Expanded availability
Access Admin Insights for sites created under the Developer, Tableau for Teaching or partner programmes whenever you need them to monitor and improve customer success and adoption for these additional sites. The Admin Insights data sources and workbooks will automatically be deployed to these additional site types – no need to contact Tableau.

Admin Insights: Schedule details
Admins can see dashboard subscription schedules and determine which should be moved to another time of day to alleviate congestion. The additional fields describing the pertinent schedule information for each subscription are available in the Subscriptions data source in Admin Insights, allowing admins to analyse it and take actions.

Performance insights dashboard
Analyse dashboard performance with a new built-in report that quickly provides dashboard insights in a user-friendly Tableau Cloud interface. Admins can now filter by specific workbooks and analyse which visualisations impact load times to identify and troubleshoot slow-performing dashboards.
Additional Activity Log events
Improve resource management monitoring and maintain security compliance certifications with additional event types. Available to support the Private Connect, Recycle Bin, and Prep Endpoint control features and log TabGPT configuration changes. Admins can ingest these logs into SIEM monitoring tools or import them to analytical data warehouses for reporting.

New Activity Log events: View interactions
A new Activity Log event, vizql_http_requests, allows Tableau Cloud admins to monitor dashboard performance in real time to ensure an optimal user experience, data exports to meet security and compliance needs, and user interactions with dashboards to understand usage patterns. The Activity Log can be configured via the Site Settings page by provisioning an AWS S3 bucket and configuring the Activity Log to write log files. These new events will appear in the user_experience eventCategory folder.
Embedded React component
For development teams looking to embed Tableau content in their custom React applications, the Node Package Manager (NPM) Package is now available for you to install and connect to your Tableau Cloud instances.

Databricks connector updates
Enhancements to the Databricks connector bring improved security with OAuth and refresh tokens, plus faster SQL optimisations. Connect, refresh and model your Databricks data with less friction and more reliability.

Flow ownership changes in Tableau Prep
With flow ownership changes, admins or current owners can pass control to others with just a couple clicks, avoiding the hassle of waiting for flow runs to finish. Plus, you can cancel in-progress runs whenever needed, making flow management more flexible and stress-free.

Tableau Next: Data Pro
Data Pro, an Agentforce skill, accelerates analytics workflows such as data preparation and modelling. In the near term, Data Pro will include semantic model curation capabilities: relationship suggestions and calculated field creation.
Data Pro will be available in beta.

Tableau Next: Concierge

Tableau Next: Metric record table
Gain clarity and act swiftly on your metrics. Analysts can now empower users to view the specific records influencing any given metric. This streamlined workflow allows immediate action directly within Salesforce, ensuring teams can address issues or capitalise on opportunities without switching tools.

Tableau Next: Dynamic time range for following
Gain deeper insights by comparing your followed metrics within a consistent time frame. Users can now easily adjust the time range for any of their followed metrics, allowing for quick trend comparisons across different datasets. This feature provides natural language summaries of changes, helping you quickly spot discrepancies and trends for more informed decisions.

Tableau Next: System event notifications
Stay on top of important sharing and collaboration events with timely notifications. Users will receive alerts when they're added as a follower to a metric or when other key events happen. By clicking the notification, they are taken directly to the relevant content, improving engagement and streamlining collaboration.

Tableau Next: Workspaces
Boost your efficiency with an integrated and collaborative experience for analytics content creation. Workspaces provide analysts with a centralised hub where you have access to all the tools necessary to perform your visual analysis. Easily reuse existing assets from other workspaces, allowing you to streamline your workflow and accelerate productivity.

Tableau Next: Sharing of analytics assets
Foster seamless collaboration and drive content adoption with easy, controlled sharing of your analytics assets. Content owners can effortlessly manage access to workspaces, visualisations, dashboards and semantic models using a simple Share button. While new content is secure by default, this feature allows creators to get feedback and share their work broadly.

Tableau Next: Time series forecast
Proactively plan and take action by anticipating future data trends. Analysts can now easily add forecasts to line charts using a single measure and date field, leveraging advanced Ridge-regression and Holt-Winters models. This helps users estimate future outcomes based on historical values, enabling better planning.
Tableau Next: Embeddable dashboards and metrics in Salesforce
View your crucial insights directly within your Salesforce workflow, eliminating context switching. Easily embed Tableau Next dashboards and standalone metric cards into Salesforce Lightning pages using the Lightning App Builder. Admins can define contextual filters to ensure insights align with the page and business context, increasing visibility and keeping you in your flow of work.

Tableau Next: Actionable insights
Speed up decisions and reduce friction by acting on insights directly within your workflow. Analysts can now configure actions on visualisation records, whether they’re Salesforce actions or dynamic URLs that leverage values from the visualisation. This lets users seamlessly connect with underlying Salesforce records or navigate to relevant URLs, using the context of the record being viewed.

Tableau Next: Take actions with Salesforce Flow
Seamlessly transition from data to action by triggering workflows directly from your insights. Analysts can now integrate Salesforce Flows into their dashboards, passing records from a visualisation as input to the flow. This allows users to initiate necessary next steps and automate processes with minimal context switching, speeding up decision-making.

Unlock instant insights from any dataset by directly creating semantic models on your files – bypassing data model objects for rapid analysis and trusted answers.

Tableau semantics: Shared dimensions
Build agile, consistent and scalable semantic models faster by sharing dimensions across all your fact tables.

Tableau semantics: Semantic learning
Continuously enhance agent accuracy and build user trust.This AI-driven capability expands agent knowledge through real-time Q&A and integrates your unique business preferences through a centralised repository, ensuring increasingly relevant and precise responses.
IdP-generated token for SCIM
Using Connected Apps, admins can bypass the SCIM token that Tableau generates and instead use the token generated by their IdP. The SCIM bearer token that is produced by Tableau (aka as an API token) is no longer needed for SCIM requests in Tableau Cloud.
Tableau Cloud Manager Authentication Enhancement
This new authentication enhancement allows admins to have even more control by being able to reset MFA verifiers for other single tenant users -regardless of whether they belong to more than one site in the tenant- and manage their MFA verifiers directly in Tableau Cloud Manager instead of handling them on the site level.
Note: This feature will come soon after the Tableau 2025.2 release.

Pulse: Threshold tracking
Track your metrics against key thresholds, not just end-of-period goals, and get insights based on that real-time positioning.

Tableau Pulse: Manage Metric Followers on Mobile
Manage metric followers directly on your mobile device, guaranteeing you and your team can easily share updates and drive collaborative action, wherever you are.

Pulse: Off-cycle email alert
Receive off-cycle email alerts of critical metrics, up to one per day if an alert condition is present, so you can stay up to date when regular digests are set to a weekly or monthly cadence.
Input and output destination filters in Tableau Prep
Improve data governance by restricting Tableau Prep users to trusted data destinations. Use REST APIs to manage input and output permissions, ensuring security and preventing data leakage.
macOS Sequoia Support
Tableau Desktop, Tableau Prep, and Tableau Public users are now supported on macOS Sequoia and can report issues to Tableau Support.

RelayState parameter support for SAML login
When using the IdP-initiated login flow, Tableau now preserves the RelayState parameter that the IdP provides to land on a direct viz, not on the default Tableau Cloud home page. It allows you to provide a streamlined workflow to your users so they can immediately access what's important to them.
Note: Coming soon after the Tableau 2025.2 release.
