I walk through the updated device-specific designer lists in Tableau 2020.2, showing how the phone and tablet device previews now include more modern screen sizes. Using the Superstore Sales sample workbook, I demonstrate where to find these options when designing for mobile in Tableau Desktop.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau 2020.2 refreshed the device preview lists to include modern phone and tablet screen sizes, reducing the need to manually reference pixel widths and heights
- You can access device-specific design by selecting the phone or tablet layout and hitting device preview in Tableau Desktop
- The Superstore Sales sample workbook is a good place to follow along and experiment with mobile layouts
- I sometimes disable automatic mobile device layouts because they can interfere with views not intended for mobile viewing
