Anthropic Launches Claude Whiteboards, Sheets and Claude Data

Anthropic launched Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta on November 10, 2026, and made Claude Dashboards generally available that day under the new name Claude Data. The company makes all three products available on paid plans across the web, desktop and mobile.

Teams can share boards, sheets, documents and dashboards, then continue editing there. Anthropic says exports and partner integrations still provide routes out when teams want to finish work elsewhere.

Anthropic describes the old workflow as users often transferring generated material to another application, where Claude no longer had live access to subsequent progress and changes.

What can Whiteboards and Sheets produce?

Anthropic says Whiteboards provides a real-time canvas where Claude can turn a spoken discussion of an unfinished plan into a timeline with owners and dates.

In a retrospective, Claude groups participants’ notes by theme and drafts action items for each person. Users can draw a box around part of a board to focus their questions on that selection.

After a session, Claude can convert the board into a document or presentation. It can also transfer the board to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho for further work. Anthropic lists those destinations as handoffs to specialist applications.

What can Sheets generate?

Anthropic says Sheets can generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down menus. One prompt can request a campaign tracker or hiring budget. Claude can edit cells and outline each change so users can follow what it did, and teams can share the resulting sheet with the team.

Anthropic describes the current spreadsheet functionality as simple and says more is in development.

Users needing Excel’s full feature set can export XLSX or CSV files or use Claude for Excel. Anthropic also lists Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet as other handoffs.

What does Claude Data change?

Claude Data builds on the Dashboards beta that Anthropic introduced on October 8, 2026. That release connected Claude to Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks and Snowflake.

It also connected the product to Salesforce and other customer relationship management systems. Users could ask questions in plain language, receive a dashboard that stayed current and inspect the query behind each chart. Anthropic says the new name reflects use cases that now extend beyond dashboards.

General availability for Claude Data does not cover every feature. Certified queries and live sharing remain in beta.

Data teams can certify the queries and metric definitions that colleagues should use, and Anthropic says charts built on those metrics carry a certified badge. Anthropic presents this as a way to avoid dashboards built on conflicting data.

Live sharing solves a different problem. Anthropic draws a distinction between distributing a metric and granting access to the systems behind it. Colleagues can open a shared dashboard and see current numbers without gaining access to the connectors that update it. Viewers see dashboard results, not the underlying data, and can run only approved queries.

Claude Data can also draft stories or narrated videos from team metrics for review before sharing. Other additions include design-system support and tracked changes that identify editors and allow rollbacks to specific versions.

Caching replaces the previous reload-on-open behavior. Each dashboard has a separate refresh cadence. The product requires a data connector such as a warehouse or CRM. Anthropic lists Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma as partners.

Which defaults apply to each plan?

On Team plans, Anthropic enables all three products by default. Enterprise plans start with Whiteboards and Sheets off by default, while Data is scheduled to turn on by default for Enterprise plans on November 19, 2026. Administrators can change these settings in the Artifacts section of Organization settings.

What can connected apps edit?

In a related announcement on November 10, 2026, Anthropic expanded interactive connectors. The rollout covers the web and desktop apps on all plans as accounts receive the new Claude experience or organizations enable it.

Supported tools can open beside a Claude conversation or in full screen. Anthropic says Claude can make approved changes to an open page, row or file while the user watches.

Anthropic gives three examples:

• Confluence: Claude can edit content.
• Box: Claude can revise content and show side-by-side comparisons.
• Notion: Claude can create documents and databases.

The connectors use MCP Apps, an extension that lets a Model Context Protocol server supply its own interface within AI applications. Public preview covers developer support for app tools and embedded sites. Anthropic says that status differs from the end-user rollout.

Anthropic says the products let Claude carry a project from brainstorming and planning through spreadsheets and shared reporting. Exports and partner handoffs preserve routes to specialized tools, while sharing controls and administrative defaults define the current limits of that workflow.

The next test is whether teams can scale that workflow without losing metric governance, because certified queries, live sharing and MCP developer features remain in beta or public preview.
