If there is sensitive data in these workbooks, you may want to consider deleting them from your account, or be ready to login and hide them right away.” You can see the workbooks that will be shown at launch by logging in to the ‘Manage Your Workbooks’ page. The company writes in the post, “At launch, your profile page will include all of the workbooks you have saved to the web, including drafts and other workbooks you may not want others to see. More information on the Tableau Public author profile feature is available in this Tableau blog post. This will be one extra step I’ll have to take to ensure it doesn’t go out on my author profile. I usually update the viz in a draft mode, then make it live when the embargo is lifted. I’ve got one viz that I update each month with data that I get under embargo. All of us have drafts that we don’t want published right away. It is a bit annoying that a viz is automatically put up there, rather than allowing the user to choose which ones to put up (opt in, rather than opt out). If someone doesn’t want to have a profile, I’m assuming they could hide all of their visualizations and not put up a photo or biographical information, essentially making their Author Profile empty. I don’t see it as a privacy concern since they are making it possible to hide a visualization and since we journalists generally create these things for publication anyway. I think the only way this will be valuable for a journalist is if they want to reference it when trying to seek a new job - basically use it as part of their portfolio.

She said the company decided for an opt-out approach, rather than opt-in, because of Tableau Public’s focus on public data, and the company’s goal to make ‘vizes’ more discoverable. The change doesn’t affect users of the company’s paid products. She added that the process of hiding projects will be simple and quick for Tableau Public users. She said the company hasn’t encountered problems with people finding Tableau Public projects that were hidden. The reader also questioned the effectiveness of the “hidden by obscurity” approach.įields said the comparison to Google isn’t correct, given the intention for Tableau Public to be used with public data, and published to the web (in contrast with the privacy of the company’s paid products such as Tableau Desktop). In a message to GeekWire this week, one reader expressed concern about the Tableau Public change, comparing it to Google making private messages or documents public. “The last thing we want to do is blindside people and expose something they’ve been working on,” explained Ellie Fields, Tableau senior director of product management.
