What is a story in Tableau?

A story is a sequence of worksheets or dashboards, called story points, arranged in order to walk a viewer through an analysis narrative — step by step, like a slideshow built from live, interactive Tableau content.

• Each story point can be a different worksheet, a different dashboard, or the same dashboard with a different filter or annotation applied.
• Navigation controls let the viewer move forward and backward through the points, or jump directly to one via the story point bar.
• Captions on each point explain what changed and why it matters, giving context that a single static dashboard can't provide.

Stories are commonly used for presenting findings to stakeholders: instead of a single dense dashboard, an analyst builds one point showing overall trends, a second point zooming into an anomaly, and a third point showing the recommended action — each still fully interactive if the viewer wants to dig in further.
