All Features
Custom Themes
Ensure consistent and repeatable formatting across all your workbooks. Create a theme once and reuse it when building new workbooks or apply it to existing workbooks to quickly update them; the newly created custom theme will carry over once published to Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server. You can use any existing workbook as the template and 'export' the styling as a theme. Then, apply that custom theme to any other workbook. This new functionality is available under the Format menu in Tableau Desktop.
VizQL Data Service API
The VizQL Data Service API enables Tableau users to access their data without the need for visualizations. It empowers users to use Tableau's analytical engine as a service, unlocking new analytical possibilities and insights using the same data that powers Tableau visualizations.
Recycle Bin
Have you ever accidentally deleted something and wanted to get it back? We all have. Tableau Server and Cloud customers can access deleted workbooks, data sources, or projects through the Recycle Bin area for 30 days - it is enabled by default. All users will see their deleted content, and site admins can see all deleted content from all users on the site. You can restore the content in the bin to a specified location in Tableau Cloud and Server.
Feature from Community Ideas
Note: This feature will be deployed to Tableau Cloud in a weekly release update soon after the initial 2025.1 rollout.
Project Tree in VizPortal
Get a better and faster experience navigating to your Tableau projects. Project Tree view is an optional navigation style that has been added to the Vizportal interface. This view is enabled by default, so users who have many projects nested several levels deep can easily browse through their projects in Tableau Cloud, Server, Desktop, and Public.

Dutch Language Support
Users in Dutch-speaking regions can navigate Tableau in their native language. Simply go to the Help menu and choose Language setting for Desktop - My Account Settings, Language and Region setting for Tableau Cloud and Server- to navigate Tableau products and Help pages in Dutch!
Data Model Accessibility
Data Model Accessibility makes it easy for all users to navigate Tableau’s relationship data model using keyboard controls and screen readers. Analysts can move between tables and relationships to better understand how data is connected, ensuring everyone can explore and analyze data effectively.
View Data Model
Ensure your visualizations are built using the right data with View Data Model. This dynamic tool helps you understand the relationships between logical tables and confirms you're using the correct fields. As you modify your visualization, the data model view updates in real time—giving you confidence in your analysis and insights.
Decouple Email Address from Username
Admins can enable Tableau Cloud users to update their email for notification purposes. Users may no longer have access to their stale email address's inbox or have been created with a username pointing to an unresolvable inbox. By decoupling the username and email address fields, users can keep updated to receive important notifications from Tableau Cloud.
Note: We have temporarily turned off this feature and are evaluating timelines to reenable it.
Refresh Private Network Flat Files
Keep your flat file data up to date in Tableau Cloud. Upload files to a UNC drive and schedule automatic refreshes to integrate ad-hoc tables with governed data sources seamlessly. This feature increases analyst productivity by centralizing and streamlining data analysis.
Expanded Extract Refresh Permissions
Avoid changing ownership and losing embedded credentials when an admin or a workbook owner is unavailable for immediate response. Admins and owners can edit the permission rules for a selected asset and grant others extract refresh privileges, and users can opt-in for extract failure notifications within a workbook. Allowing users to refresh a data source when it gets used will allow you to eliminate unnecessary refreshes for infrequently used data sources.
Table Viz Extension Enhancement
You can add Table Viz Extension to a workbook through the Tableau Exchange. The new enhancements allow creators to reorganize columns directly and edit aliases on text columns. Further formatting controls allow for customizing the grid's fill, lines, and banding more directly amongst some of the added flexibility of this viz. Table Viz Extension also supports a broader range of keyboard navigation, enabling the selection of headers and columns and an added array of hotkeys for navigation in Tableau Cloud, Tableau Server, and Tableau Public.
Tableau Pulse: Multilingual Support
Drive scalability and reduce misinterpretation of your business trends by getting insights in your local language on both web and mobile. Pulse is available in all Tableau-supported languages and also respects the locale setting on your Tableau account, so specific regional settings such as currency are reflected in your insights.

Setting a default view will be reflected across email and Slack digests, the Tableau mobile app, and the web.
This feature is generally available.
Tableau Pulse: Datasource Goals
Drive efficiency and accuracy by tracking your metrics performance in relation to goals from your data source. Rather than create a goal for each metric, you can now reference goals from the datasource in the metric definition. Datasource goals are optional, apply to all related metrics, and support partial and full periods.
This feature is generally available.
Tableau Pulse: Enhanced Q&A
Discover insights conversationally across related metrics and see how they impact business trends with speed and ease, all powered by AI.

Logical Table Data Source Filter
Optimize your data model with logical table filters in Tableau. Reduce the number of rows before tables participate in relationships, improving query performance and analytic flexibility without Custom SQL. Data stewards can filter datasets to relevant information, such as limiting historical data to recent years, while giving analysts control through parameterized filters.
Multi-fact Relationship Relatability Infoscenting
Easily navigate complex data models with Tableau’s Multi-Fact Relationship Infoscenting, which proactively highlights how fields in your visualization relate across shared dimensions. This feature eliminates ambiguity by surfacing contextual guidance, empowering analysts to explore data confidently without needing deep model expertise.
