Workbooks with non-published Views get migrated with all Views published #17

HI, When migrating a Project I found that there were many extra Views which got migrated over. On analyzing, I found that we had many Workbooks where only the Dashboards were Published and not the Views, on the Source environment. However, when we migrated using the TabMigrate tool, all the Views were migrated as well. We had to manually open each Workbook with the Tableau Desktop and Publish again with just the Dashboards. Please advise how we can migrate without this issue. Thanks

We just ran into the same problem. As the workbooks are downloaded and uploaded again, the information is currently nowhere persisted. I guess it might be possible to include in the content metadata (assuming one can access that information) but that would need some more development. For now we will go with your mentioned approach: Download and only publish the needed sheets
