You must email a workbook so that colleagues with no database access can open and interact with it offline using Tableau Reader. Which Tableau Desktop export option should you choose?
A packaged workbook (.twbx) bundles the Tableau workbook file together with any local file data sources, extracts, and background images. Because the data is embedded, recipients do not need access to the original databases and can fully explore the views offline in Tableau Reader. A standard Tableau workbook (.twb) only stores metadata and still relies on live connections to the original data sources. Exporting as a PDF or image produces a static file that cannot be interacted with in Tableau Reader.
