We're thrilled to announce the launch of Tableau Templates v2! Building upon the foundation that helped users create stunning dashboards faster, v2 is packed with significant updates designed to elevate your Tableau development workflow and the final user experience.

If you're looking to build more professional, flexible, and visually appealing dashboards in Tableau, you won't want to miss this. We've listened to your feedback and incorporated some of the most requested features.

What's New in Tableau Templates v2?

This release focuses on enhancing flexibility, offering modern aesthetics, and providing even better starting points for your projects. Here are the highlights:

1. True Dark Mode Across All Templates & Examples

One of the most anticipated features is here! Every template and example in the v2 collection is now available in a meticulously crafted true dark mode. This isn't just an inverted color scheme; it's designed for optimal readability, reduced eye strain in low-light conditions, and that sleek, modern look many users prefer. Now you can offer your users the choice or build stunning dashboards designed specifically for dark interfaces.

2. New Template: Collapsible Sidebar

Maximize your dashboard real estate! We've introduced a powerful new collapsible sidebar template. This layout allows users to easily hide navigation menus, filters, or parameter controls when they need to focus purely on the data visualizations. It's perfect for creating cleaner interfaces and providing an adaptable viewing experience, especially on varied screen sizes.

3. New Template: Multi-Section Sidebar

Need more organization for your dashboard's navigation? The multi-section sidebar template is the answer. This layout allows you to group related navigation links into distinct, logical sections within the sidebar. It’s ideal for more complex dashboards, making things more intuitive and less cluttered for your end-users.
