Claude Sheets, Whiteboards and Data Launch in 2026

By PowerfulAI.tools Editorial Team

Anthropic has added three new tools to Claude: Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data. The company announced them on 10 November 2026. Sheets and Whiteboards are new and launch in beta. Claude Data is the new name for Claude Dashboards, which had been in beta since October and is now generally available.

Anthropic says all three are available on all paid Claude plans, and they work on the web, desktop and mobile apps.

What launched

Claude Sheets (beta)

Claude Sheets is a spreadsheet that Claude builds and edits with you. You describe what you need, such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget, and Claude sets up tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down lists. When Claude edits cells, each edit is marked so you can see what changed.

Sheets can be shared, so a team can work on the same spreadsheet with Claude. You can export a sheet as an .xlsx or CSV file.

Anthropic is clear that this is an early version. Its announcement says: "For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more." If you need full Excel features, Anthropic points people to Claude for Excel instead.

Claude Whiteboards (beta)

Claude Whiteboards is a shared board for brainstorming with Claude. Anthropic gives the example of talking through a rough plan out loud, with Claude turning it into a board that has a timeline, owners and dates, which the team can then work on together in real time.

In a team retrospective, people can add notes and Claude can group them by theme and draft action items for each person.

Claude can also turn a board into a document or a slide deck, and boards can be moved into Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.

Claude Data (now generally available)

Claude Data replaces the Claude Dashboards name, because the product now does more than dashboards. It needs a data connector, such as a data warehouse or a CRM, and lets Claude query that data to build dashboards.

New features include:

• Certified queries (beta): data teams can approve queries so everyone uses the same definitions. Charts built on them show a "certified" badge.
• Data stories: Claude can draft written data stories or narrated videos from your metrics, which you review before sharing.
• Live sharing (beta): colleagues can see current numbers in a shared dashboard even if they don't have access to the connector. Anthropic says viewers "can't run others with your access", meaning they only see the queries you've approved.

Interactive connectors open as full apps

Anthropic also upgraded interactive connectors. Connected apps such as Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion can now open as full apps beside a conversation or in full screen. You can work in the app directly, or ask Claude to make changes for you.

In a companion post, Anthropic also says a feature called Claude Meetings is coming soon. It will let you add Claude to a call to take notes and update the documents your team is working on. No release date was given.

Who can use it and what it costs

Sheets, Whiteboards and Data are included on all paid Claude plans. Anthropic's announcement doesn't list a separate price for them. Claude Data also needs a data connector to be set up.

For workplaces, there are admin differences:

• Team plans: all three tools are switched on by default.
• Enterprise plans: Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default. Claude Data switches on by default on 19 November 2026.
• Admins can change these settings at any time under Organization settings, then Artifacts.

What it means for ordinary users

For most people, Claude Sheets is the headline. If you already ask Claude to help plan a budget or track a project, it can now hand you a working spreadsheet with formulas, rather than a table in the chat that you have to copy out. Because sheets export to .xlsx and CSV, you can still finish the job in Excel or Google Sheets.

Whiteboards will suit people who plan with others, such as small teams running a meeting or a project kick-off. Claude Data is aimed more at businesses with their own data systems, so most individual users won't need it.

Keep in mind that Sheets and Whiteboards are in beta, and Anthropic says Sheets only has simple spreadsheet features for now. It's worth checking formulas and numbers before relying on them for anything important.
