Rename workbooks on Tableau Online or Tableau Server

The latest Tableau Desktop 10.5 Update is utterly awesome. Now you can rename workbooks on Tableau online or Tableau server, like butter!

There’s no need to republish workbooks just to rename them. Now you can rename workbooks directly on Tableau Online or Tableau Server. When you do, workbook URLs remain the same, so any links you’ve shared keep working. Navigate to the main Workbooks area, click the pop-up menu in the upper-right corner of a workbook, and select Rename. To rename a workbook, users need the Save permission. You’ll have that by default for workbooks you own, but you might need to add it for other users. For details, see View or Edit Permission Rules in Help for Tableau site administrators.

Tableau Desktop 10.5 update offers custom messages and the ability to subscribe users in groups

Subscribe users in groups, and add custom messages

To quickly subscribe several users, you can select entire groups created by your Tableau administrator. Each user in a group is subscribed independently, so the list of recipients remains fully customizable. You can also add custom messages to subscription emails, clarifying their contents. For more information, see Subscribe to Views.

#8 Tableau Desktop 10.5 Updates

Upload custom images for user profiles

Tableau desktop 10.5 updates offer images for user profiles! Finally!

By default, users and groups now have profile images that reflect their first two initials. To help you visually distinguish between profile types, user images are circular, while group images are square. User profiles support custom images. To upload one, go to your account settings page, and click the current image or initials next to your name. If your organization uses Active Directory, default profile images come from that system. But two-letter images may briefly appear until Active Directory next synchronizes with your Tableau server.
