This is a guide on helping people with publishing their approved workbook into UW-Madison's Tableau production server.

If Republishing an existing Workbook
Make sure the copy on your desktop matches the one in "Staging" folder on the server that was approved by reviewers.
If it doesn't match, then download the Staging copy into your desktop and open it with Tableau desktop on your machine.
