Comment on Views

Version: 2019.1 Applies to: Tableau Online, Tableau Server

Comments let you share a conversation about data discoveries with other Tableau Server or Tableau Online users. Any comments you add in a desktop browser also appear in Tableau Mobile, and vice versa, so you can easily communicate with colleagues on the go.

Tip: To keep comments when you republish a workbook, be sure to use the same workbook and view names.

Add comments

  1. In the toolbar above a view, click Comments.

  2. In the Comments pane at right, enter your remarks, and @mention colleagues to notify them via email.

  3. If you've filtered the view, click the snapshot icon to share an interactive image that highlights the data you're describing.

    Note: The snapshot icon doesn't appear if a view is user-filtered, protecting secure data.

  4. Click Post.

  5. To filter a view and see a data snapshot in detail, hover over the thumbnail image, and click View.

Delete comments

If a comment is unnecessary or inaccurate, you can quickly delete it. Just click the X in the upper-right corner.

You can delete a comment if you created it, are the content owner, are a project leader with an appropriate site role, or are an administrator. To learn which site roles are required for full project leader access, see Project-level administration in the Tableau Online Help.
