Free Browser-Based Tool — no installation, no sign-up required
Ever needed to bulk-update parameter values across a dozen worksheets? Spent time digging through raw XML trying to find where a calculated field is actually referenced? Wanted to compare two versions of a workbook side by side without launching Tableau Desktop?
Workbook Explorer gives you full read-and-write access to your .twb and .twbx files right in the browser. Upload a workbook and get instant visibility into every datasource, field, calculation, parameter, filter, and visual encoding inside it.
Built for Tableau developers, BI leads, and data teams who regularly review, migrate, or maintain workbooks across environments.
Key Capabilities
Deep Structure Analysis
Full visibility into datasources, connections, fields, calculated fields, and relationships. Resolve field references, trace dependencies, and understand the data model without Tableau Desktop.
Multi-Workbook Comparison
Upload multiple workbooks and compare them side by side. Structural diff highlights differences in parameters, calculations, filters, and settings across versions or environments.
Parameter & Filter Editing
Modify parameter values and filter ranges directly in the browser. No need to open Tableau Desktop for quick configuration changes. Download the updated workbook when done.
Visual Style Auditing
Inspect color encodings, font choices, mark types, axis settings, and reference lines. Audit visual consistency across worksheets and check against style guidelines.
Temporary Sessions
Uploaded workbooks are parsed on the server and stored in a temporary session. Files are automatically deleted within 4 hours. No accounts, no tracking, no permanent storage.
