I give a quick rundown of the Tableau Exchange, the ecosystem run by Tableau and Salesforce. I cover the four main things you'll find there: accelerators, dashboard extensions, visualisation extensions and data connectors.

## Key takeaways

- Extensions add visualisation capability to your dashboards
- Connectors let you connect to additional data sources
