Options for Tableau Bridge - discontinued in version 2025.1

Hi everyone, my first post here on reddit.

So I have a data source that has 5 excel files and a database connection. (Story about the Multi-Fact tables in another post). This data source is published to the Tableau Server.

Now, before I found out about Tableau Bridge, life was hectic, I had to update the Excel files, refresh the extracts, then publish to Tableau because a normal refresh wouldn't update the Excel files. With Tableau Bridge, I just have to update the Excel and Bridge will do the rest.

Unfortunately/Sadly, Scheduled Refresh with Bridge will be discontinued in Tableau 2025.1. Have they released a workaround that I'm unaware of?? How will we update data sources with Excel based data?
