You've Built The Dashboard. Time To Show The World.
One of Tableau's greatest strengths is how easy it makes sharing dashboards with other people. Unlike Excel files that can end up floating around email chains, shared folders and endless versions, Tableau has a fully built platform for securely sharing your dashboards. That platform is Tableau Cloud.
Think of publishing as taking the dashboard you've created in Tableau Desktop and placing it somewhere your audience can securely access, interact with and return to whenever they need it.

Think Of Tableau Cloud As Analytics HQ.
Tableau Cloud is much more than somewhere to store dashboards. It becomes the central home for analytics across the organisation — connecting dashboards, data and the people who use them.
Publish
Move Desktop dashboards into one shared environment.
Share
Give stakeholders one dependable analytics destination.

Publishing Is The Easy Part. Running It Properly Is The Real Skill.
A professional Tableau environment needs more than uploaded dashboards. You need users, structure, security, reliable data and governance working together.

Everyone Uses The Same Platform. Like Watching The Same Concert.
Imagine attending a concert where every person listened to a different recording of the band. One person's version is from yesterday. Another is from last month. A live performance puts everyone in front of the same source. Tableau Cloud brings that same principle to analytics.
One Performance
Everyone consumes the same published analytics.
One Audience
Teams gather around the same trusted platform.
One Current Version
Update the source rather than distribute another file.
Less Confusion
Conversations begin from the same information.
From Site Creation, to Dashboard Deployment to User Consumption.
Tableau Cloud looks different depending on where you sit in the process. This course helps you understand the environment from three essential perspectives — the person who manages it, the person who publishes into it and the person who consumes the final analytics.
Administrator
Create, organise and protect the environment everyone relies on.
Creator
Design, publish and maintain the analytics people consume.
Consumer
Access, interact with and act on trusted business insight.
Control Who Sees What. Without Sending Another File.
Tableau Cloud lets you manage users, groups, roles and permissions inside one central environment. The dashboard can stay in one place while different people receive the level of access they actually need.

One Dashboard. One Shared Truth.
Many organisations waste enormous amounts of time trying to work out which spreadsheet is current, which number is correct or which person's version should be trusted. When everyone works from the same published dashboard, a huge amount of that confusion simply disappears.
Fewer Versions
Stop circulating copies of the same analysis.
Fewer Arguments
Spend less time debating whose number is right.
More Alignment
Let everyone start from the same trusted dashboard.
