Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.

4.29	main15993	14 May 2022	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.28	main14627	12 Feb 2022	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.27	main12833	13 Nov 2021	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.26	main11181	14 Aug 2021	Stable	Added the following Tableau Snaps to support hyper extract files for Tableau 10.25 and later versions. Hyper Formatter: Converts the incoming documents to Tableau hyper extract format and sends the output (extract) to the binary output view. Hyper Parser: Parses Tableau hyper extract files and converts them to a document format. Hyper Write: Creates a hyper file in a temporary location (local disk) for incoming documents and publishes it to Tableau Server/Online without packaging it into a data source.
4.25	425patches10994	04 Aug 2021	Latest	Fixed an issue with Tableau REST Snap where the Snap was not able to filter or route the output data shows either duplicate records or incorrect results.
4.25	main9554	08 May 2021	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.24	main8556	13 Feb 2021	Stable	Fixed an issue when updating user information in the Tableau REST Snap by not overwriting the site ID or user ID if the entries already exist. Behavioral Change In the 4.23 release, the Tableau REST Snap had a defect where it used site ID and user ID from the Tableau Account even if the selected REST operation required a site ID and/or user ID from the input document. This issue is fixed in the 4.24 release, so that the Snap uses values for the said IDs from the input document when available. Since this fix changes the Snap behavior, it is possible for production Pipelines to fail after the 4.24 release. Hence, you need to reconfigure the Tableau REST Snap using the site ID and user ID values from the input document.
