Anthropic has started rolling out Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta on paid plans, and has made the product previously known as Claude Dashboards generally available under the name Claude Data. In a thread from the official Claude account, the company said the updates are arriving gradually, so people may not see every feature at once.
The details are in two Anthropic product articles, including a wider launch note on interactive connectors, and on the Claude Artifacts page. Whiteboards, Sheets and Data sit with Docs, Slides and Design, which Anthropic already offers on every plan, including Free.
Whiteboards and Sheets
Claude Whiteboards is a shared board for planning and workshops. Anthropic says people can talk a messy plan through, and Claude will lay it out with a timeline, owners and dates. Teams can work on the same board in real time, follow a teammate’s cursor, and drag a box around part of the board to ask questions about it. A finished board can be turned into a document or a deck, or sent to Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.
Claude Sheets builds a spreadsheet from a request, such as a tracker or a budget, with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs. Anthropic says people can work on a sheet together, including on a phone, and that Claude’s edits are outlined as they land. Context can carry from a whiteboard into a spreadsheet, and from there into a dashboard.
For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more. If you need the full power of Excel, you can export your sheet as an .xlsx or CSV, or use Claude for Excel.

Sheet partners named in the announcement include Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet.
Claude Data, formerly Dashboards
Claude Dashboards launched in beta in October, connecting to company data so people could ask questions in plain language and get a dashboard that stays current. Anthropic says it has now made that product generally available as Claude Data, because “the way companies use their data is broader than dashboards.” Certified queries and live sharing remain in beta.
Current data connectors named by Anthropic include Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake and Salesforce. A data team can certify the queries everyone should use; charts built on those metrics carry a “certified” badge. Claude can also draft data stories or narrated videos from the metrics, for review before they are shared.
With live sharing, colleagues can see up-to-date numbers when they open a shared dashboard, even if they don’t have access to the connectors that keep the data current. Anthropic says viewers see the results rather than the underlying data, and can run only the queries that have been approved. Claude Data also adds design systems, caching, per-dashboard refresh cadences, and tracked changes with rollback.
Data partners named in the announcement include Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma. On the Artifacts page, Anthropic says Claude Data does not replace a company’s existing BI and analytics tools, and that questions needing deeper analysis should be sent on to those tools.
Who gets them, and when they turn on
Whiteboards, Sheets and Data work on the web, on the desktop app and on mobile. Claude Data needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or a CRM. According to the Artifacts page, Design, Slides and Docs remain available on every plan, including Free. Paid plans add Data, plus Sheets and Whiteboards in beta. Team and Enterprise plans also get Claude Motion in beta, which turns a prompt into an animated explainer that can be downloaded as an MP4.
Admin defaults differ by plan. On Team plans, Whiteboards, Sheets and Data are on from the start. On Enterprise plans, Whiteboards and Sheets stay off until an admin turns them on in Organization settings > Artifacts, and Claude Data turns on by default on 19 November 2026. In HIPAA-enabled and zero data retention organisations, nothing in this set turns on by default, and Anthropic says some artifact types aren’t available.
Interactive connectors, and what’s still coming
Anthropic is also upgrading interactive connectors, so a connected tool can open as a full app beside the conversation or in full screen. The company names Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion as examples, and says people can make changes themselves or ask Claude to make them. That upgrade is rolling out on web and desktop, on all plans, as part of a Claude experience that brings chat and Cowork together. Auto-connect is in beta on eligible Team and Enterprise plans.
The launch note says Claude’s Marketplace now has more than 9,000 connectors and plugins, including new plugins for Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday, some of them still in beta. How connector listings reach that directory is covered in more detail here. Claude Meetings, which Anthropic says will let people add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents, is listed as coming soon.
