You may open workbooks and save to Tableau Public using either Tableau Desktop or the free Tableau Public client application. Please keep the following points in mind:

• In order to use Tableau Public, you will need to register an account.
• With Tableau Desktop and the proper permissions, you may save and open workbooks to and from Tableau Public using the Server menu and selecting options under Tableau Public.
• With the free Tableau Public client, you may only save workbooks to and from the web. Anyone in the world can view what you publish.
• Selecting the option to Manage Workbooks will open a browser so you can log in to your Tableau Public account and manage all your workbooks online.
• Workbooks saved to Tableau Public may contain any number of data source connections, but they must all be extracted and must not contain more than 15 million rows of extracted data each.
