Replay animations

Tableau 21.4 finally lets you replay an animation with a single button, no filter fiddling required.

Part ofWhat's new in Tableau 2021.4
  • Tableau 21.4 adds a replay button that lets you re-run an animated transition without manually changing filters or parameters
  • Animations show an animated transition between states when the dashboard author has enabled the feature
  • For animations to work when published to server, you should filter down to a much smaller subset of data
  • The replay button works by stepping back to the previous state and forward again to the current state

Tableau release notes: You can now replay data visualisations with animations with a click of a button to see data trends and changes faster. Pairing a data visualisation with animation provides repeated exposure to your data, which helps you interpret data, make comparisons among values, focus attention and spot patterns in your data quickly. ‍
