Key points
- Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are in beta on all paid plans; Claude Data, renamed from Claude Dashboards, is generally available.

What happened
Claude can now build and edit spreadsheets and run shared whiteboards, both in beta on all paid plans, Anthropic said on 10 November. Dashboards, which launched in beta in October, is now generally available as Claude Data.
Sheets builds and edits spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, often from a single prompt, according to Anthropic's help article. Each edit is outlined so changes can be tracked, and teammates can edit alongside Claude.
Anthropic says the functionality is simple for now and that it is working on adding more. For the full functionality of Excel it points to export to .xlsx or CSV, or to Claude for Excel. It separately says work can also continue in partner tools including Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.
Whiteboards is a shared board where a team brainstorms with Claude. Claude can turn rough notes into a timeline with owners and dates, group sticky notes by theme and draft action items, and boards can be exported to a doc or deck or moved to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.
Claude Data lets teams ask questions of company data in tools such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse. It needs a data connector such as a warehouse or CRM. It adds certified metric definitions marked with a badge (certified queries are in beta), data stories and narrated videos for review before sharing, and live sharing in beta where viewers see only approved queries.
Team plans have all three on by default. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on 19 November 2026. Admins change these under Organization settings, then Artifacts. All three work on web, desktop and mobile.
Anthropic's page lists a related update: connectors from Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion can open as full apps beside a conversation.

What it means for you
Our viewEnterprise admins have a date to act on: Claude Data turns on by default on 19 November 2026, while Whiteboards and Sheets stay off until someone enables them. Claude Data needs a data connector, so it is worth knowing which warehouse or CRM connections it would reach once it is on.
Anthropic describes Sheets as simple for now, so judge it on your own spreadsheets and not on a demo. Before 19 November, review the Artifacts setting and try Sheets on one of your own workbooks.
