Tableau Desktop Free Edition Fact Sheet! (Here’s What You Can & Can’t Do) #data #tableau #analytics

0:00So what I'm going to use here is a fact sheet sent across to me by Salesforce.

0:03I don't want to get this wrong, so I've got this up as a really nice way of comparing things.

0:07Now Tableau Reader might be something that you've been familiar with in the past.

0:10You'll see that it's uh right here on the top left hand side.

0:13This is not that commonly used, has the restrictions it always has.

0:16Tableau desktop public edition here in this column, that again has always been there.

0:21But

0:21Tableau Desktop Free Edition kind of sits between the professional edition and the public edition in that it's got the same privacy and security.

0:30You can save visualizations locally, you can do auto recovery, that's a standard feature that was added to Tableau Desktop.

0:36You can download or copy publish workbooks.

0:38This is why, for example, you can go and get a workbook that's sitting on Tableau Cloud

0:44uh and bring it down to your laptop locally.

0:47However, if that connection is a published data source or a connection that lives in Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server.

0:52it won't work.

0:54But if the connection is embedded in the workbook, then technically this should work.

0:58So there's a whole bunch of things we're gonna have to try and test out.

1:01I just wanted to do this video to sort of get this announcement out there.

1:05Um

1:06You can do live data refreshes locally.

1:08You can do data sources all of them locally.

1:10Everything that's available in the full edition is also available in here.

1:13You can see the two things you cannot do are basically Tableau Public.

1:17and uh publishing to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server.

1:21So everything else is basically um left untouched
