If you’ve created a data connection that you might want to use with other workbooks or share with colleagues, you can export (save) the data source to a file. You might want to do this also if you’ve added joined tables, default properties, or custom fields—such as groups, sets, calculated fields, and binned fields—to the Data pane.
Visualisations and Data extracts are NOT saved in a .tds file!
You can assign an alias to a field member before creating a visualization. An alias is an alternative name that you can assign to a value in a dimension field. You can use aliases to rename specific values within a dimension to make them more relevant or descriptive in your view than what the original data provides. For example, you can use aliases to shorten long names, correct spelling errors, or replace codes with meaningful labels6 You can create aliases for the members of discrete dimensions only. They cannot be created for continuous dimensions, dates, or measures. To create an alias for a dimension member, you can right-click the dimension in the Data pane and select Aliases, then enter a new name for each member under Value (Alias). You can also create an alias by right-clicking a dimension member in the view and selecting Edit Alias. You can do this before or after creating a visualization6 The other options are not accurate statements about aliases. You cannot create an alias for a discrete measure, because measures are not discrete fields. You cannot create an alias for a continuous dimension, because aliases are only available for discrete dimensions. When you assign an alias, the name does not change in the database, only in Tableau. Aliases are stored as part of the workbook or data source, and do not affect the original data6

I highly recommend it. They made a big difference for me and I'm sure they'll help you too. Just make sure to use them wisely and not solely rely on them. They should be used as a supplement to your regular studies.
