Research direction

Start with the tableaudocumentapi script and inspect how .twbx files are read. Determine whether the workbook version can be surfaced as diagnostic information, and treat the work as complete when the script reports the available version details or clearly documents that the version cannot be determined.

Description

enhancement

Is there anything in a .twbx file to determine which version it is? I'm working on a system whereby the .twbx gets deployed in a cloud environment and the .twbx file needs to be "saved as" an older version of tableau in order to run online.
I don't think tableaudocumentapi could be helpful in terms of being able to change the "saved as" version of the file, but it would be nice if my tableaudocumentapi script could at least print out some diagnostic information in case the deployment engineer forgot to perform this step.
