Key Notes
- Claude Whiteboards and Sheets are launching in beta on paid plans, while Dashboards becomes generally available as Claude Data with certified queries and live sharing still in beta.
- Updated Interactive Connectors let supported partner apps open beside Claude conversations or in full screen, with actions governed by existing permissions and approvals.
- The tools expand Claude’s role in office work, but Sheets starts with basic functionality, Enterprise defaults differ from Team settings, and Claude Meetings remains coming soon.
Anthropic is turning Claude into a more complete workspace for teams, launching shared whiteboards and spreadsheets while expanding its analytics and app integrations. Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are arriving in beta, and Claude Dashboards is becoming generally available under the name Claude Data. All three are available on paid plans, the company announced on November 10.
The package moves Claude further into territory occupied by Microsoft’s productivity and analytics software. Anthropic is combining its own collaborative workspaces with fuller access to outside applications, giving people more ways to develop a plan, organize its execution and examine the results without moving every step into a separate program.
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.

Shared boards and spreadsheets that Claude can edit
Whiteboards gives a team a live canvas for brainstorming and planning with Claude. The assistant can organize notes into themes, turn a discussion into a timeline with owners and dates, and draft action items. Users can select an area of the board to ask about it, then turn the outcome into a document or presentation or continue working in a connected whiteboarding tool.
Sheets supports tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdown menus, with edits outlined so collaborators can follow changes. A team could ask Claude to build a campaign tracker or hiring budget, then edit the cells together. Anthropic describes the initial spreadsheet functionality as basic; files can be exported to .xlsx or CSV when users need to continue in a more advanced application.
Claude Data adds a governed layer to analytics
Claude Data builds on the October launch of Dashboards, which connects company information to interactive analysis. It can draw on a data warehouse or CRM to produce dashboards, visual stories and narrated videos for review. The expanded product also adds design-system support, caching, configurable refresh schedules and version history.
Two important additions remain in beta: certified queries and live sharing. Data teams can approve common metric definitions, giving charts a badge that identifies the certified calculation. Shared dashboards can show current results to colleagues without giving them access to the underlying data connector; viewers see the results and can run only the queries the creator has approved.
Adobe, Atlassian and Box work inside Claude
An upgrade to Interactive Connectors lets supported partner applications open beside a conversation or in full screen. Examples include Adobe photo and PDF tasks, the full Confluence editor from Atlassian, and Box files that users can revise and compare before keeping changes. These are supported app experiences tied to a user’s account, with Claude’s actions subject to connector approvals and existing permissions.
The connector upgrade is rolling out on web and desktop across all Claude plans as accounts receive the new Claude experience or organizations enable it. Developers can build on the open MCP Apps extension, with support for the expanded capabilities in public preview. That creates a route for partners to bring their own interfaces into Claude rather than supplying only a small interactive preview.
Availability differs for individual users and enterprises
Whiteboards, Sheets and Data work on web, desktop and mobile, with a data connector required for Data. On Team plans, all three are enabled by default. Enterprise organizations start with Whiteboards and Sheets disabled, while Claude Data is scheduled to turn on by default on November 19, 2026; administrators can change these settings.
Anthropic’s broader announcement also previews Claude Meetings, which will let users add Claude to a call to take notes and update shared work during the discussion. That feature is coming soon, separate from the boards, spreadsheets, analytics and connector capabilities beginning to roll out today.
