Self-Service at Scale
Empower your organization with new tools for content discovery, governance, and management.

old version and keep going with Workbook Revision History for Tableau Server.
Project leaders can now change owners, run refresh schedules, and move content.
Rest API Enhancements
The REST API is underpinned by a completely new platform with significant performance and usability improvements for admins.
Low Disk-Space Monitoring
Don’t unexpectedly run out of space. Tableau Server now lets you specify disk-space thresholds that alert you when space runs low.
Postgres Connectivity Monitoring
You can now check the underlying PostgreSQL database for corruption with a new tabadmin command.
PostgreSQL Improvements
Fail over from one repository to another much more quickly. No server restart required.
Flow
Share and keep data fresh with better workflows and seamless connections.
It’s easier to publish, keep your data fresh, and stay connected
with the new Publish Data Source flow.
Sign into Tableau Cloud on your mobile device and stay signed in.
Enjoy hassle free access, thanks to Automatic Sign In.
Publish your Tableau dashboards faster. Tableau Desktop remembers your Tableau Cloud
or Tableau Server connection and signs you in to the last server you used.
Sync as a Service
The Online Sync Client can be configured to be “always on” and run continuously so that your data stays fresh even when you’re signed out of the sync computer.
Easy Setup
Schedule extract refreshes right from a web browser. You’re guided through the Tableau Cloud Sync Client setup when you publish a data source to Tableau Cloud.
Notifications
Sync with confidence. The Tableau Cloud Sync Client notifies you if a data source needs additional information such as user credentials or an updated file path.
Data
Getting started with your data should be fast, no matter where it lives or how it looks.
Combine data that have been split across multiple files or tables into a single Tableau data source.
Excel or text-based data sources only.
Connect directly to Snowflake Elastic Data Warehouse. Snowflake makes it easy
for any organization to scale their data and analytics on demand
You can now preview Tableau extracts and Web Data Connector data sources
on the Data Source page. Manage metadata there as well.
Now, right in the data grid, you can create groups and bins. Refine your data where you can see it.
When you pivot data, Tableau creates new columns. Now you can join on those columns and
use these fields for new data integration and analysis.
Salesforce.com OAuth Support
Use the familiar Salesforce.com sign-in experience to sign in to Salesforce.com from Tableau Desktop, Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server.
Tableau Parameters in Initial SQL
You can now include parameters in an initial SQL statement for a data source. This enables new scenarios, like row-level security, where users can only see the data they are authorized to see.
Initial SQL Support
Tableau now passes initial SQL commands when connecting to Oracle, Pivotal Greenplum, and Microsoft SQL Server to set session attributes.
Kerberos for Teradata and PostgreSQL
Leverage your IT investments in enterprise data security to create a seamless single sign-on flow from Tableau all the way to your database.
On-Demand Connections
See your data faster. When viewing a published workbook, Tableau connects only to the data sources that are required to display your view instead of connecting to all data sources in the workbook.
External Query Cache
Workbook load times and interactions are faster thanks to caching. When using Tableau Data Server, the external query cache and in-memory query caches are better synchronized.
Fast and Easy
The little things matter. We listen to your feedback, to make Tableau a more delightful experience.
