I cover a Tableau web authoring improvement where image exports, subscriptions and extension export services now correctly render dashboard extensions. Previously extensions wouldn't render properly when you exported a dashboard as an image, but this feature fixes that so exports match the logged-in experience.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau image exports, subscriptions and extension export services now render dashboard extensions correctly so outputs match your logged-in view
- Previously embedded extensions would fail to render when a dashboard was exported as an image
- Thumbnails, alerts, Slack collaboration and automated jobs all benefit from extensions now rendering properly
- The feature is geared towards web authoring and simplifies export considerations for analysts and admins
