An analyst is preparing to email a single self-contained workbook file to a colleague who has Tableau Desktop but no connection to the corporate database and no access to the shared image folder the dashboard references. The analyst saves the workbook as a packaged workbook so the recipient can open everything offline. Which two items does saving as a packaged workbook bundle into that single file for the recipient? Select TWO.

  • AAn extract of the data the workbook uses, so the rows travel inside the file rather than relying on the live database connection. Correct
  • BCopies of any custom fonts the dashboard uses, so the text renders identically even if the colleague has never installed those fonts.
  • CBackground images and other local files the dashboard references, so those assets open without the original shared folder. Correct
  • DA live pass-through link to the corporate database, so the recipient queries the production server in real time on open.
  • EThe Tableau Server site permissions, so the colleague inherits the same view and download rights the analyst holds on Cloud.
Identify the data extract and referenced local files that a packaged workbook bundles so a recipient can open the dashboard offline. Saving as a packaged workbook collapses the live workbook plus its dependencies into one archive: it stores an extract or copy of the connected data and copies any locally referenced files such as background images, so the recipient opens the dashboard fully offline without the source database or shared folders. It does not embed fonts, live database links, or server permissions.

Why A is correct: A packaged workbook embeds a data extract (or file copy) so the recipient sees the data offline without the source database.

Why B is wrong: A packaged workbook does not embed fonts; if the recipient lacks a font Tableau substitutes another, so styling can shift even though the data and images travel.

Why C is correct: A packaged workbook copies referenced local files such as background images so the dashboard renders fully offline.

Why D is wrong: A live link still needs database access, which defeats the offline goal, so packaging does not include this connection.

Why E is wrong: Site permissions live on the server and govern published content, not a file emailed for local opening, so this is wrong.
