Geocoding improvements
We've built ten times the number of cities into Tableau, and there is no longer a population threshold for cities in the US. Geocoding performance has also been improved.
Data source recommendations
Start your analysis faster with the right data. Tableau uses machine learning to recommend existing data sources based on your organization's data source usage metrics. It's now easier to find the right data source for your analysis.

Data source certification
Bring a new level of governance to your analytics. Mark data sources as certified, so everyone knows they are connecting to the right data. These data sources get preference in the UI, search, and recommendations.
Discussions
Bring a new level of collaboration with real time conversations around your data. Work with your colleagues, discuss inflection points, even attach a viz snapshot to bring attention to a specific detail or view.
Publish to older versions of Tableau Server
Have the newest version of Tableau Desktop, but Tableau Server isn't upgraded yet? Now you can publish a compatible file from Tableau Desktop (down to Tableau 10.2).
WCAG 2.0 conformant filters
Let more people interact with your viz. Single value and multi value dropdown filters on the web now support keyboard commands and screen readers. These filters are fully WCAG 2.0 conformant.
High DPI
Want to use Tableau Desktop for Windows on high-DPI displays? Starting in Tableau 10.4, the interface and vizzes will scale with DPI changes.
Web authoring improvements
Do more from the browser. You can now edit text objects, axes, filters, aliases, groups, lines, and headers with new dialogues.
Okta Mobile Connect
Tableau Mobile now supports Okta Mobile Connect, providing a more seamless sign-on experience for users using mobile single sign-on.
Extract data from SAP BW
Quickly see the results as you create and interact with your viz. You can now use extracts with SAP BW for better analytical performance.
Presto connectivity with LDAP
Connect to Presto securely, thanks to version 0.167 compatibility using LDAP.
Connect WDCs to Spatial Data
Now your WDCs can import spatial data by connecting directly to GeoJSON including points, lines, and polygons. Things are definitely shaping up.
