Research direction

Start by reviewing the document API's workbook and published-data-source handling to determine whether a workbook connection can be replaced from one published data source to another. Done means the library supports changing only the workbook's published data source reference, without altering the underlying databases, with behavior documented and covered by an appropriate test.

Description

Hi Devs!

While working with Governance, it is common that the staging workbook is connected a Tableau published data source, let's call it PUBLISHED DATA SOURCE A. Is it possible, that using document api, we can change the published data source of the workbook to PUBLISHED DATA SOURCE B?

Don't forget we are talking about published data sources. I am not asking to change the databases or anything related to the published data sources. I just want to change the Tableau published data source the workbook is using (in this case from PUBLISHED DATA SOURCE A to PUBLISHED DATA SOURCE B)
