If you are a Tableau user looking for information about its new features and how to use them, you are in the right place. If you are new to Tableau, start with Chapter 2, The Tableau Core, to learn about the basics and advanced features of Tableau. Throughout this book, many new features will be explained.

In this first chapter, we'll cover the new features in Tableau's 2019 releases (2019.1 and 2019.2). This chapter will be divided into two parts, as follows:
- Connector improvements
- Worksheet enhancement
- New actions

For each part, each major feature has its own section. Next to the name of the feature, between brackets, the version that introduced the new feature will be specified.
