How do you publish tableau reports to tableau server?

From Desktop, Server → Publish Workbook. Sign in, choose the project, name the workbook, and set permissions, which sheets to include, and how the data source should be handled.

The decision worth thinking about is embedded versus published data source. Embedded travels with that one workbook; published lives on Server as its own object and can be reused. If more than one workbook will use the same data, publish the data source separately — it keeps calculations and schema changes in one place.

Then set authentication for the connection, attach a refresh schedule if it uses an extract, and confirm permissions are inherited from the project rather than set per workbook.

For automation, `tabcmd publish` and the REST API do the same job from a script, which is how deployments are usually handled once there is more than a handful of workbooks.
