Anthropic added Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards to Claude in beta on 10 November, and made Claude Data, its dashboard tool previously called Dashboards, generally available. All three come with every paid plan and work on the web, the desktop app and mobile. On Team plans they are already switched on, and Enterprise organisations get Claude Data switched on by default on 19 November.
On the same day, Anthropic let apps such as Asana, Canva, Dropbox and monday.com open in full inside Claude. It also announced Claude Meetings, which will join a call to take notes and update team documents. Anthropic calls that one “coming soon” and gives no date.
Claude Sheets writes formulas and drop-downs for you, then sends complex models to Excel
You describe what you need, such as a hiring budget or a campaign tracker, and Claude builds it with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-down lists. When Claude changes cells later, it outlines each edit so you can see what moved. Colleagues can open the same sheet and work in it with Claude.
Anthropic says Sheets has only “simple spreadsheet functionality” for now. For anything heavier, you export the sheet to .xlsx or CSV, or continue in Excel with Claude for Excel.
Whiteboards turns a meeting’s sticky notes into themes and action items
Whiteboards is a shared board where a team brainstorms and Claude sorts. In Anthropic’s example of a retrospective, everyone adds notes, Claude groups them by theme and drafts action items per person. You can also talk through a plan and have Claude lay it out as a timeline with owners and dates. To ask about one part of the board, you drag a box around it.
A finished board can become a document or a slide deck, or move to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.
Claude Data shows colleagues live figures from systems they cannot open themselves
Claude Data connects to a data warehouse or CRM through a connector, such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift or Salesforce. From there it builds dashboards, short data stories and narrated videos from your figures.
Two new features are still in beta, and both change how figures travel through an organisation. With certified queries, the data team approves how a metric is calculated, and charts built on it get a “certified” badge. With live sharing, colleagues see up-to-date figures in a shared dashboard even when they have no access to the connector behind it. They only see the results of approved queries and cannot run new ones with the sharer’s access.
For a sales or finance team that is useful. It also means that the person who shares a dashboard decides who sees figures from a system the viewers could not open themselves.
Asana, Canva and Dropbox now open in full beside the chat
Interactive connectors used to show a small live view of a tool in the conversation. Now you can open the tool beside the chat or full screen and ask Claude to change the page, row or file you have open. You approve those changes the same way you approve other connector actions.
Anthropic names Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow as available now, with examples from Adobe, Atlassian, Box, HubSpot and Notion. The feature is rolling out on the web and in the desktop app on all plans. One detail for admins: if your organisation already allows all of a connector’s tools, the new features appear without any further step.
How do admins switch Claude Sheets, Whiteboards and Data on or off?
Admins manage all three in Organization settings, under Artifacts, and can change them at any time. On Team plans, Sheets, Whiteboards and Data are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Sheets and Whiteboards stay off until an admin turns them on, while Claude Data turns on by default on 19 November 2026.
Anthropic’s announcements do not say where Sheets, Whiteboards and Data store their content, and they mention no limits for the Netherlands or the EU. For Enterprise, Anthropic says data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Settle which tool owns spreadsheets and dashboards before teams build them twice
In organisations that pay for Microsoft 365 as well as Claude, teams now have two places to build a budget, a whiteboard or a dashboard. The risk is not the tool but the duplicate: a budget in a Claude sheet and another in Excel, each with slightly different figures.
For the organisations DataNorth advises, the sensible order is simple. Team admins should tell people today that Sheets is a beta for quick lists and trackers, and that budgets and financial models stay in Excel. Enterprise admins should decide before 19 November who gets Claude Data and whether people may share dashboards live. Before anyone shares a dashboard, let the data team certify the metrics people quote most. Then compare the first Claude dashboard with a report you already trust.
