Tableau 2025.2 is coming soon
Check back to explore the new features coming soon to Tableau
Show Me 2.0
Tableau's classic Show Me just got even better. With an improved experience designed to help users get started faster, all visualization types are now available upfront—no need to select fields first. This update lowers the barrier to entry for new users by making it easier to explore data or let Tableau suggest a starting point. It’s the same trusted feature, now even more intuitive and welcoming.
Tableau Agent: Incremental Improvements
The latest Tableau Agent has been enhanced to better meet user needs and optimize the experience across the analytics journey with improvements to areas like suggested questions and follow-up suggestions. Tableau Agent is also now available in French Canadian and Korean.
Multiple External IdPs for SCIM on a Site
Provision users and groups to Tableau using your identity provider (IdP) as the source of truth. Tableau now has multiple IdP support for authentication supporting user and group provisioning scenarios through the standards-compliant SCIM 2.0 feature. Admins can enable up to 20 IdPs for SCIM on a site to establish a connection between their IdP and Tableau Cloud site.
Palantir Foundry Connector
The Palantir Foundry connector and driver are now available out-of-the-box in Tableau Cloud, making Palantir Foundry available for web authoring and enabling published workbooks, data sources, and flows to connect without Bridge.
Available via Bridge June 2025
Arriving as a native connector in Summer 2025
Single Use Refresh Tokens
Tableau now handles single-use refresh tokens to optimize users’ data connectivity experience for Box.com and Databricks connectors. Once you save OAuth credentials for a data source, Tableau will automatically handle refresh token rotation. Customers and partners can also enable this capability in their connectors developed using the Tableau Connector SDK.
Tableau App for Google Workspace
Reduce unnecessary processes with a new version of the Tableau app for Google Workspace. It provides a native Tableau interface within Google Docs and Google Slides, so with one click, you can embed vizzes or Pulse metrics and refresh the content when you need it. This free app is available to all Tableau Cloud customers.
Private Connect: Additional Connectors
Enhance your security by keeping the connection to data private and off the public internet. Tableau Cloud customers can now connect their AWS-hosted databases, such as PGSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, OracleDB, and Aurora, to Tableau Cloud using the AWS Private Link, which provides a secure, dedicated, and private connection, avoiding exposure to the public internet.
Additionally, Private Connect can have cross-region connectivity for Redshift, PGSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, OracleDB, and Aurora. And offers Virtual Connection support.
Session Recovery Improvements
Tableau extended offline visualization interactivity for users during session recovery, even for large vizzes. Minimize downtime, especially in time-sensitive scenarios like presentations, and avoid getting error banners. When offline and reconnecting, a new button will replace the "Offline" indicator in the toolbar, allowing you to continue offline interactions. The button will inform you of the reconnect status, while interactions requiring server commands will be disabled until the connection is restored.
Admin Insights: Expanded Availability
Access Admin Insights for sites created under the Developer, Tableau for Teaching, or partner programs whenever you need them to monitor and improve customer success and adoption for these additional sites. The Admin Insights data sources and workbooks will automatically be deployed to these additional site types - no need to contact Tableau.
Admin Insights: Schedule Details
Admins can see dashboard subscription schedules and determine which should be moved to another time of day to alleviate congestion. The additional fields describing the pertinent schedule information for each subscription are available in the Subscriptions data source in Admin Insights, allowing admins to analyze it and take actions.
Performance Insights Dashboard
Analyze dashboard performance with a new built-in report that quickly provides dashboard insights in a user-friendly Tableau Cloud interface. Admins can now filter by specific workbooks and analyze which visualizations impact load times to identify and troubleshoot slow-performing dashboards.
Additional Activity Log Events
Improve resource management monitoring and maintain security compliance certifications with additional event types. Available to support the Private Connect, Recycle Bin, and Prep Endpoint control features and log TabGPT configuration changes. Admins can ingest these logs into SIEM monitoring tools or import them to analytical data warehouses for reporting.
New Activity Log Events: View Interactions
A new Activity Log event, vizql_http_requests, allows Tableau Cloud admins to monitor dashboard performance in real time to ensure an optimal user experience, data exports to meet security and compliance needs, and user interactions with dashboards to understand usage patterns. The Activity Log can be configured via the Site Settings page by provisioning an AWS S3 bucket and configuring the Activity Log to write log files. These new events will appear in the user_experience eventCategory folder.
Flow Ownership Changes in Tableau Prep
With Flow Ownership Changes, admins or current owners can pass control to others with just a couple clicks, avoiding the hassle of waiting for flow runs to finish. Plus, you can cancel in-progress runs whenever needed, making flow management more flexible and stress-free.

Tableau Next: Dynamic Time Range For Following
Gain deeper insights by comparing your followed metrics within a consistent time frame. Users can now easily adjust the time range for any of their followed metrics, allowing for quick trend comparisons across different datasets. This feature provides natural language summaries of changes, helping you quickly spot discrepancies and trends for more informed decisions.

Easily reuse existing assets from other workspaces, allowing you to streamline your workflow and accelerate productivity.
Tableau Next: Sharing of Analytics Assets
Foster seamless collaboration and drive content adoption with easy, controlled sharing of your analytics assets. Content owners can effortlessly manage access to workspaces, visualizations, dashboards, and semantic models using a simple Share button.

Tableau Next: Time Series Forecast
Proactively plan and take action by anticipating future data trends. Analysts can now easily add forecasts to line charts using a single measure and date field, leveraging advanced Ridge-regression and Holt-Winters models. This helps users estimate future outcomes based on historical values, enabling better planning.
Tableau Next: Embeddable Dashboards & Metrics in Salesforce
View your crucial insights directly within your Salesforce workflow, eliminating context switching. Easily embed Tableau Next dashboards and standalone metric cards into Salesforce Lightning pages using the Lightning App Builder. Admins can define contextual filters to ensure insights align with the page and business context, increasing visibility and keeping you in your flow of work.
Tableau Next: Actionable Insights
Speed up decisions and reduce friction by acting on insights directly within your workflow. Analysts can now configure actions on visualization records, whether they're Salesforce actions or dynamic URLs that leverage values from the visualization. This lets users seamlessly connect with underlying Salesforce records or navigate to relevant URLs, using the context of the record being viewed.
Tableau Next: Take Actions with Salesforce Flow
Seamlessly transition from data to action by triggering workflows directly from your insights. Analysts can now integrate Salesforce Flows into their dashboards, passing records from a visualization as input to the flow. This allows users to initiate necessary next steps and automate processes with minimal context switching, speeding up decision-making.
