When Hyper files are published and shared on Tableau Server, an error will occur when trying to update (overwrite) the Hyper file using Tableau Desktop or Tableau Prep Builder stating:
Cannot replace the extract file which is currently in use. Please choose a new location to save the extract.
or
Unable to generate output. The output file is in use. Close the file and try again.
When using workbooks that directly access Hyper files in shared network folders, updating these Hyper files in place is not a supported scenario.
