# Tableau Desktop

Tableau Desktop is a data visualization and analysis application from Tableau that people use to access, visualize, and analyze their data. Users connect to a data source and drag fields onto shelves and cards to build views. A workbook holds those views as worksheets, dashboards, and stories, and Show Me highlights the view types that suit the selected fields. Users can publish workbooks and data sources to Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud, where a team opens them in a web browser.
