Tableau Reader workbook compatibility

Pam Okerholm Jun 8, 2016 10:55 AM

Hello,

I know that workbooks created in a new version of Tableau Desktop cannot be open by older versions. Is this true for Tableau Reader? I just want to make sure that any updates I take going forward on my Desktop license don't affect my colleagues' ability to open workbooks with their Reader install.

Thanks

Yes you will have the same issue. I'm not sure if there is compatibility issues with minor versions but:

Created in Desktop 9.x - cannot be opened by Reader 8.x

Hi Jason,

I'm mostly concerned about the minor versions. It makes sense that it would not be compatible with major releases. Right now I'm asking a client to get their IT dept to upgrade them to Reader 10, and since it's a long process for them I'd hate to have to ask that for minor releases as well.
