To Reset animation settings for a workbook: You can reset animations to return an entire workbook to the default animation settings. Be aware that this turns animations off by default. Choose Format > Animations . At the bottom of the Animations pane, click Reset All . To Completely disable all animations: If you find animations distracting while viewing vizzes, you can completely disable them so they never play. (This isn't a system-wide setting; each user needs to apply it separately.) In Tableau Desktop, choose Help > Settings and Performance , and deselect Enable Animations . In Tableau Online or Tableau Server, click your profile image or initials in the top right corner of the browser, and choose My Account Settings . Then scroll down to the bottom of the page, deselect Enable animations , and click Save Changes .
