Hey Tim, great video, as always!
Adding a few things:
- Great point on allowing users to open the format extensions button from the dashboard. We'll discuss this with the Tableau devs to see if it can be added!
- We indeed went to great lengths to add many customization options (and we'll add more before the final release!). The overlap of labels is a good point; it's just not easy!
- The current sort is a bit weird indeed: the Tableau devs wanted to make sure a few of each partner devs were showing on top, then they are ordered by publication date (this will probably change in the future)
- Currently, if you update the format of the extensions, it will not reload in the dashboard. You can remove it and then Undo, and you'll see the changes. A bit weird, and we hope it'll also be fixed before the release!

Tableau Tim to youtube site is just unreal. The way he breaks things down and keeps folks that are not in it all the up to date makes him really my damn hero. He is a USA hero and I know across the pond a UK hero!

Hello Tim, thank you again for this very interesting video. Thank you for the mention in the "Backed by" banner, I'm very proud to be one of your YouTube backers 🙂

Definitely great work from Tristan from LaDataViz. His Iron Viz victory from 2017 TC was still one of the best TC moments!

Curious if we can still partition charts with the columns and rows cards like we normally do.

Great video, but it's kinda disappointing on Tableau for relying on 3rd party devs to make things that should be available as a standard in the product.

I'd be curious to see data on which companies actually use these things. In all the companies I worked so far, extensions were always a no-go. I just don't see a major corporation allowing a network-based extension no matter how safe they are, compliance and internal bureaucracy always make it impossible.

Thanks Tim, do you know if Viz Extension will be available in Tableau Public as well?
