## Overview

Tableau is a business intelligence and analytics platform. Learn more in the [official Tableau documentation](https://www.tableau.com/).

The DataHub integration for Tableau covers BI entities such as dashboards, charts, datasets, and related ownership context. It also captures table- and column-level lineage, usage statistics, ownership, tags, and stateful deletion detection.
