When it comes to telling a data story, Tableau is primarily designed to build richly interactive visualizations and dashboards for consumption on a screen. Often you will expect users to interact with your dashboards and visualizations. However, there are good options for presenting, printing, and exporting in a variety of formats.
Tableau Desktop and Reader features a Presentation Mode, which is available from the Window menu, by pressing the F7 key, or using the option on the toolbar. This mode removes all authoring controls and displays only the view and navigation tabs without any toolbars, panes, or authoring objects. Press the F7 key or Esc key to exit Presentation Mode.
