Moving from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud is a strategic shift — one that brings scalability, security, and simplified management. But it requires proper planning.

🔄 Key Phases of Migration:

Evaluate current usage, users, dashboards, and custom scripts. Know what you're migrating and why.

2. Site & Content Mapping
Plan how workbooks, users, and data sources will be structured in the new environment.

3. User Provisioning
Create users in Tableau Cloud and assign roles before importing content.

4. Workbook & Data Migration
Use tools like TabMigrate or Tableau’s REST API for secure content transfer.

5. Validation & Testing
Ensure filters, permissions, refresh schedules, and dashboards behave as expected.
