Power trendlines
Better understand power relationships between variables with drag and drop power trendlines, bringing light to your physics, biology, astronomy, economics data, and more.
Improved workbook version compatability
Now you can revert your workbooks to an older version with improved workbook version compatibility. Other users in your organization can open and edit a workbook even when they aren't using the latest version of Tableau Desktop (down to Tableau 10.2).
Web authoring improvements
Web authoring is even more powerful. Edit dashboard titles, axis settings and text zones, and format lines across your entire workbook directly in the browser. Organize your metadata using hierarchies, and further your analysis with enhanced support for groups and trend lines.
Nested projects
You can now nest projects within projects, and customize permissions at each level, or choose to use a top down permissioning structure. Now it's easier to organize your workbooks, so everyone in your organization can find what they are looking for.
