Which two settings should you configure to allow users to post comments on a visualization?

Comments on visualizations foster collaboration in Tableau Server—let’s break down the requirements:

Commenting Prerequisites:

Site-Level Enablement: Comments must be activated for the site.

Permission: Users need the "Add Comment" capability on the content.

Site Role: Minimum role of Viewer allows commenting if permissions are set.

Option B (Add Comments must be allowed in permissions): Correct.

Details: In the Permissions dialog (e.g., for a workbook), set "Add Comment" to "Allowed" for users/groups. Default is "Denied" unless explicitly enabled.

How: Content > Workbooks > Actions > Permissions > Edit Rule.

Why: Permissions are granular—site enablement alone isn’t enough.

Option D (Comments must be enabled on the site Settings page): Correct.

Details: Go to Site > Settings > General > Allow Comments—check the box.

Why: This is a site-wide toggle (default: off). Without it, no one can comment, regardless of permissions.

Option A (Minimum site role of Explorer - can publish): Incorrect.

Why: Viewer role suffices if permissions allow—Explorer (can publish) isn’t required (it adds publishing, not commenting).

Option C (Server Settings page): Incorrect.

Why: Comments are a site-level feature, not server-wide—no such toggle exists in TSM’s Server Settings.

Why This Matters: Enabling comments at both site and content levels ensures controlled collaboration—key for team insights.
