I walk through the small navigation and export button enhancements in Tableau 2020.3. Nav buttons now insert as text buttons with square edges, refined colours, and a searchable filter list, and I demonstrate styling and configuring them inside the Superstore workbook on Desktop.

## Key takeaways

- Navigation buttons now insert as text buttons by default with square edges instead of the old rounded ones
- Nav and download buttons now share a consistent style, giving a cleaner look without extra effort
- The navigation point dropdown includes a search box, making well-named sheets even more valuable for quickly finding tabs
- An unset navigation button appears grey until you assign a destination, after which it matches the standard style
- You can still switch a text button to an image button via Edit button options
