I walk through how to track bugs and known issues in Tableau now that the information has moved from the download page to the Salesforce Known Issues page. I show how to filter by product, find issues that are fixed or in review, and use the workarounds and reporting features.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau releases monthly patches for current and older versions, so always check you're on the latest patch for your release before troubleshooting
- Bug and release information has moved from the Tableau Desktop download page to the Salesforce Known Issues page, which opens pre-filtered
- The status filter set to 'Solution deployed' shows issues that have actually shipped, and sorting by updated date surfaces the most recent fixes
- Each issue lists the 'found in release' version as a floor, plus a workaround and steps to reproduce
- You can track in-review issues, hit 'report' to flag you're affected, and get alerted with metadata when a fix lands
