Are live connections available in Tableau Public? I have seen a "Live connection" checkbox in a few tutorials, but it is missing from Tableau Public 2020.3.1 - is it missing from the Public version by design or has it been moved/removed from new versions?

The answer is no, with one exception:
Can I save to Tableau Public a workbook with a live connection to a data source?
Tableau Public only supports extracted data sources and does not support live connections to data. However, authors have the option to allow Tableau Public to automatically refresh data sources connecting to Google Sheets every 24 hours. For all other data sources (like Excel or a CSV) automatic refresh on Tableau Public is not supported."
