Anthropic has made collaborative whiteboards and spreadsheets available in beta across Claude’s paid plans, giving teams new places to work with the assistant inside the service. The company also made its dashboard product generally available as Claude Data, on November 10.

Claude Whiteboards is a shared brainstorming board, while Claude Sheets lets users create and edit spreadsheets with the assistant and their colleagues. The renamed data product adds features for preparing and sharing information from connected business systems.

Boards and spreadsheets

A team can talk through a plan with Claude and have it produce a whiteboard with a timeline, owners and dates. Anthropic says the assistant can also group notes from a retrospective meeting by theme and draft action items for participants.

Users can select a portion of a board and ask Claude questions about it. A finished board can be turned into a document or slide deck, or moved into partner tools including Lucid, Miro and Vani by Zoho for further work.

Sheets can generate a spreadsheet from a prompt, such as a request for a campaign tracker or hiring budget. Its files support tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, and Claude outlines its edits in cells so users can follow the changes.

Anthropic describes the spreadsheet functionality as simple for now and says it is working on additions. Files can be exported as .xlsx or CSV, and users can also continue work in partner tools including Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.

Data sharing and controls

Claude Data succeeds Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October for questions about company data in services including Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse. Certified queries and live sharing are in beta even though the broader product is generally available.

Data teams can certify queries used to define metrics, with charts based on those metrics carrying a certified badge. Users can also work with Claude to draft data stories or narrated videos from metrics for review before sharing.

Live sharing lets colleagues see current dashboard results even when they lack access to the connectors supplying the data. Viewers see the results of the queries the sharer has approved and cannot run others with the sharer's access.

Dashboards now support caching and refresh schedules set individually, as well as change tracking and a way to return to a specific version. Claude Data also supports design systems and requires a data connector, such as a warehouse or customer relationship management system.

Availability and connected apps

Whiteboards, Sheets and Data work on the web, desktop and mobile. All three are enabled by default on Team plans; administrators can change their settings under Organization settings and Artifacts.

On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, while Claude Data is set to turn on by default on November 19, 2026. Interactive connectors can also open full apps beside a Claude conversation or in full screen, including tools from Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion.
