What’s the Difference Between Analytics Tab and Analytics Studio?
With CRM Analytics, you can take either a business user path or a builder path, depending on what you want to do, and you can switch paths at any time.
Analytics Tab Stay in Salesforce
Run and explore apps

Two Paths
|
Analytics Studio Go to Analytics >
Browse and build assets
|
The business user path, generally for those with Use CRM Analytics permission, leads to ready-to-explore dashboards and lenses in curated apps. For this path, work in the CRM Analytics tab to run apps and collaborate with coworkers over dashboards.
The builder path, generally for those with permission to create CRM Analytics assets, leads to ready-to-explore datasets and ready-to-edit apps, dashboards, and lenses. For this path, work in the CRM Analytics Studio to browse your assets and build new ones.
