Question
What are the differences between "Show Tabs" and "Hide Tabs" upon publishing the workbook?
Environment
Tableau Server
Answer
With the "Show Tabs/Show Sheets as Tabs" option:
The metadata of all views are loaded in one bootstrap session when a view is opened. It might impact the performance of loading the workbook if there are a lot of sheets.
Permissions of all views are controlled at workbook level.
Navigations between tabs using Filter Actions can be achieved within the same browser tab.
With the "Hide Tabs" option:
Only the metadata of the target view is loaded when the view is opened.
Permissions can be set at view level.
New tab will be opened when navigating between tabs using Filter Actions.
