You rename several fields and create a calculated field before choosing Data > Add to Saved Data Sources and saving the connection as a .TDS file. When another analyst opens a new workbook and connects to that .TDS, which item will appear exactly as you defined it?
The calculated field you added to the data source
The custom color legend you applied to a worksheet
An extract containing the data rows present at save time
The worksheet that displayed your calculation results
A .TDS file stores only the metadata of a data source-connection details plus customizations such as renamed fields, field aliases, default properties, and calculated fields. Because no visual or data-bearing content is saved, worksheet formatting (including custom color legends), individual worksheets, and any extracted rows are not included. Therefore, another user who connects to the .TDS will see the calculated field exactly as it was created, but none of the other listed items.
