How can you share a Tableau visualization with others?

Publishing a Tableau visualization to Tableau Server or Tableau Online is the most effective way to share your work with others. When you publish a workbook, it becomes accessible to authorized users who can view the visualization through a web browser. This method ensures that everyone is looking at the most current version of the data, as it allows real-time interaction and collaboration on the visualizations. Users can also filter data, interact with visual elements, and gain insights without needing access to the underlying Tableau software.

Other methods, such as exporting the visualization to Excel or saving it only locally on your device, limit sharing capabilities. Exporting to Excel does not maintain the interactive aspects of the visualization and can only share static data. Saving locally restricts access to the file, making it unavailable to others unless physically shared. Copying and pasting into a word processor may present some visual elements, but it does not retain the interactive features of Tableau, making it an inadequate way to share insights effectively. Thus, using Tableau Server or Tableau Online is the most comprehensive solution for sharing visualizations.
