Are animations enabled by default in Tableau?

Are animations enabled by default in Tableau?
A . No
B . Yes

Answer: A

Explanation:

No, by default, animations are not enabled in Tableau. We can animate visualizations to better highlight changing patterns in your data, reveal spikes and outliers, and see how data points cluster and separate. Animations visually transition between filter, sort, and zoom settings, different pages, and

changes to filter, parameter, and set actions. As visualizations animate in response to these changes, viewers can more clearly see how data differs, helping them make better informed decisions.

When you author animations, you can choose between two different styles: simultaneous or sequential. Here are examples of each type.

1) Simultaneous animations

The default simultaneous animations are faster and work well when showing value changes in simpler charts and dashboards.

2) Sequential animations Sequential animations take more time but make complex changes clearer by presenting them step-by-step.

To Animate visualizations in a workbook:

1) Choose Format > Animations.

2) If you want to animate every sheet, under Workbook Default, click On. Then do the following:

For Duration, choose a preset, or specify a custom duration of up to 10 seconds. For Style, choose Simultaneous to play all animations at once or Sequential to fade out marks, move and sort them, and then fade them in.

3) To override workbook defaults for a particular sheet, change the settings under Selected Sheet.

According to the link you provided for this question the correct answer is YES, because:

When you create a new workbook, Tableau enables animations for your viz by default. You can turn animations on or off at the user and workbook level (taken from ‘Animate visualizations in a workbook’ section).
