Comments on Tableau Server visualizations facilitate collaboration. Let’s explore what’s supported:
Comments Feature: Enabled per site (Settings > General > Allow Comments). Users with "Add Comment" permission can post on views.
Option B (Text): Correct.
Details: The primary content type—users type free-form text in the comment box.
Use: Notes, questions, or feedback (e.g., "Sales spiked here—why?").
Option C (@mentions): Correct.
Details: Typing @username notifies the mentioned user via email or the UI (if notifications are enabled).
Use: Directs comments to specific people (e.g., "@John, check this trend").
Option A (Interactive snapshots of a view): Incorrect.
Details: Snapshots (static images) aren’t supported in comments—users must take screenshots externally and can’t embed them interactively.
Option D (Images - jpg, png): Incorrect.
Details: No attachment or image embedding in comments—text and mentions only. Workaround: Link to an image hosted elsewhere.
Why This Matters: Comments enhance teamwork, but their simplicity (text + mentions) keeps the interface lightweight and focused.
