Moving Custom Dimensions / Custom Measures to different Tableau Workbooks

I have created a series of Calculated Fields, Ad Hoc Groups, Sets, and Bins that I would like to move from workbook to another. Is there an easy way to do this or must I recreate them?

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have to do a lot of financial analysis and I want to have one workbook for every department in my company. The analyses vary from department to department, but they share much of the data and aforementioned custom dims/metrics.

Thanks.

Hi, so this is actually a new feature in Tableau Desktop v3.6, which was released about a month ago. If you are using v3.6 you can right-click a field in the Data window and select Copy. Then in the new workbook, right-click the Data window and select Paste.

How do we obtain a complete listing of enhancements made to desktop (not server) 3.6?
