What launched. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, @claudeai announced (opens in a new tab) that Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data are starting to roll out. Per Anthropic's launch post (opens in a new tab), Whiteboards and Sheets are in beta, and Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October, is now generally available under the new name Claude Data. All three are on paid plans and work on web, desktop and mobile. Anthropic says the rollout is gradual, so you may not see them right away.
Claude Sheets. Ask for something like a campaign tracker or a hiring budget and Claude builds a spreadsheet with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs. It edits in the cells and outlines each new edit so you can track changes, and you can share the sheet so your team and Claude work on it together. Anthropic says sheets have "simple spreadsheet functionality" for now. For full Excel features you can export to .xlsx or CSV, use Claude for Excel, or move to partner tools including Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.
Claude Whiteboards. A shared board where your team brainstorms with Claude. You can talk through a messy plan and Claude lays it out, for example as a timeline with owners and dates. In a retro, everyone adds notes and Claude can group them by theme and draft action items. You can drag a box around part of the board and ask Claude about it. When you're done, Claude can turn the board into a doc or deck, or bring it into Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.
Claude Data. The former Dashboards. It needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM. New pieces: certified metric definitions from your data team (charts built on them get a "certified" badge), draft data stories and narrated videos for you to review before sharing, live sharing so colleagues see current numbers without connector access, design systems, caching with per-dashboard refresh, and tracked changes with rollback. Certified queries and live sharing are in beta.
Also new. Interactive connectors can now open as full apps beside your conversation or in full screen, so you can work in tools like Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion, or ask Claude to make changes with you. Anthropic says Claude Meetings, which adds Claude to a call to take notes, is coming soon.
Who it's for. Teams on paid Claude plans that already plan, track or report inside Claude and are tired of copying the output into another app.
For admins. Per Anthropic: on Team plans all three are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on Nov. 19, 2026. You change this in Organization settings > Artifacts.
The caveats.
- Sheets is a beta with basic spreadsheet features. Anthropic itself points you to Excel export or Claude for Excel for heavier work.
- Whiteboards and Sheets are beta; rollout is gradual.
- Claude Data is only as good as the connector and metric definitions behind it. Anthropic's customer time-savings quotes are its own; MODEL has not checked them.
