Issue
When publishing over existing visualization, a new copy of the workbook is created on Tableau Server or Tableau Public instead.

Environment
- Tableau Public Desktop / Tableau Desktop
- Windows
Resolution
Make sure the workbook's name on Tableau Server/Public matches the filename on the local machine, or be sure to publish with a workbook name that matches the workbook's name on Tableau Server/PublicCause
Workbook names on Tableau Server or Tableau Public are not the same as file names, but they are related.When a workbook is downloaded, its default filename is the workbook's name on Tableau Server/Public. However, if the workbook name contains invalid characters for the operating system (such as a slash on Windows), those characters may be replaced (for instance, with an underscore).
