Tableau Next Personal Org supports reusing governed production assets without requiring the analyst to recreate or independently govern those assets. The documented procedure is to open or create the Personal Org workspace, select Add - > Data, choose Production from the Org dropdown, identify the production workspace and asset type, and then add the required asset to the workspace.
Therefore, A precisely matches the official workflow.
The reused production asset remains governed by production controls. Salesforce notes that assets reused from production are effectively read-only references; if the source asset is removed or the user loses access, the corresponding reused asset in the Personal Org stops functioning.
Cloning the DMO is unnecessary and would contradict the intended reuse model. A Data Kit is a deployment mechanism used to move supported assets between managed environments; it is not the Personal Org workflow for referencing an individual production DMO.
This design supports self-service analytics while maintaining centralized governance: analysts can combine authoritative enterprise data with their own analytical work without creating unmanaged duplicate definitions.
