Claude Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data: Anthropic Adds a Spreadsheet and Whiteboard to Claude

A spreadsheet, a whiteboard, and a data analysis tool, all without leaving the Claude window—sounds good? Anthropic is starting to roll out Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Data to all users with a paid subscription. Here’s what you need to know.

On November 10, 2026, Anthropic announced on X and detailed on its official website the launch of two new types of artifacts (the content generated by Claude) and the end of the beta phase for a third artifact type. Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are arriving in beta, while Claude Dashboards, launched in beta in October, is becoming available to everyone under a new name: Claude Data.

Anthropic continues to expand the Claude app so it can work without everything being exported to another piece of software. "Whiteboards is a shared board where your team brainstorms with Claude, Sheets is a spreadsheet that Claude builds and edits with you, and Claude Data adds data narratives, certified queries, and live sharing", Anthropic summarizes.

These new features complement the tools already in place. They make it possible to create documents, presentations, and designs (including design systems), all through the Claude app. As a reminder, I published an article about Claude Design, Anthropic's tool for creating visuals and prototypes from a simple prompt last April.

Whiteboards and Sheets: two collaborative tools in beta

Claude Whiteboards is a shared digital whiteboard designed for meetings:

• Planning: you describe a plan to Claude, and it turns it into a board with a timeline, owners, and due dates.
• Real-time brainstorming: team members add their notes, then Claude can group them by theme and draft action items for each person.
• Focused selection: simply draw a box around an area to ask Claude about it.
• Export: a board can become a document or presentation, or be transferred to Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.

For its part, Claude Sheets builds a spreadsheet from a simple request (campaign tracking, hiring budget), with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-down lists. It positions itself as an alternative to Excel: there is also a Claude module for Excel. But here, the point is to do everything inside the Claude app. Within Claude Sheets, the AI highlights each of its changes so you can track them, and the sheet can be shared for collaborative editing.

However, don’t see this as an overnight competitor to Excel. "For now, spreadsheets offer basic spreadsheet functionality, but we’re working to add more", Anthropic admits. For advanced needs, you’ll need to export to .xlsx or CSV and move to Excel or an alternative.

Claude Data: at the heart of the data

Claude Data requires a connector, for example to a data warehouse such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, or ClickHouse, or to a CRM. Among the new features:

• Certified queries and metrics (beta): the data team validates the reference metrics and queries, and charts based on them display a "certified" badge.
• Data narratives: Claude helps draft annotated summaries or videos from metrics, to be reviewed before sharing.
• Live sharing (beta): recipients see up-to-date results from approved queries, even without access to the connector. On the other hand, they cannot run other queries with your credentials.

This live sharing deserves your attention: it exposes results from a data warehouse to people who do not have access to it. That is the intended goal, but the person sharing approves the visible queries, so a third party could potentially see data they would not normally have access to through this dashboard.

Availability and admin settings: what to check

The three tools are included in all paid plans and work on the web, desktop app, and mobile. On Team plans, they are enabled by default. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets are disabled by default, while Claude Data will be enabled by default starting November 19, 2026. So if you administer a Claude plan used in an enterprise environment, you can adjust all of this in the organization settings.

Another new feature: interactive connectors can now open as a full app alongside the conversation, for example with Adobe, Atlassian, Box, or Notion. As for Claude Meetings, which will be able to join a call to take notes, it is only announced as "coming soon".

Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.

Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data. https://t.co/S8M32FMrce
