What is Tableau Public?

• A. An enterprise-grade security framework for data governance
• B. A paid feature of Tableau offering advanced analytics
• C. Free version of Tableau where users can explore features and create visualizations publicly or privately
• D. A mobile app for on-the-go dashboard editing

Answer: (C)

Tableau Public is the free, cloud-based edition of Tableau designed for sharing visualizations publicly on the web. It lets you explore Tableau’s features and build dashboards, then publish them so anyone can view them in the Tableau Public gallery. Because it’s built for public sharing, workbooks published there are not private and aren’t intended for enterprise data governance. This is why the option describing a free version that enables public sharing best fits. It’s not an enterprise security framework, not a paid feature, and it isn’t primarily a mobile editing app.
