Toolbar

Tableau’s toolbar contains commands such as Connect to data, New Worksheet, and Save. In addition, the toolbar contains analysis and navigation tools such as Sort, Group, and Highlight. You can hide or display the toolbar by selecting Window > Show Toolbar.

The toolbar helps you quickly access common tools and actions. The table below explains the functions of each toolbar button.
