Anthropic adds Claude Sheets and Whiteboards in beta, renames Dashboards to Claude Data and makes it generally available

Anthropic added two collaborative features to Claude as beta releases on November 10 (US time): Claude Sheets, a team spreadsheet, and Claude Whiteboards, a shared brainstorming board. Claude Dashboards, which launched in beta in October, has been renamed Claude Data and is now generally available. According to Japanese-language outlet ITmedia, all three features are available on every paid plan across web, desktop and mobile, with a staged rollout.

Claude Whiteboards (beta)

Whiteboards are shared boards for brainstorming with Claude. Claude organizes plans discussed in a conversation into a board containing timelines, owners and due dates. It can also group notes by theme and draft action items. Users can select part of a board and ask Claude about it.

Finished boards can be converted into documents or slides. Anthropic names Lucid, Miro and Vani by Zoho as integration destinations.

Claude Sheets (beta)

Claude creates and edits spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdowns. Cells Claude changes are highlighted so edits can be tracked. Sheets can be shared with a team and edited further.

The feature is currently a "simple spreadsheet function" and will be expanded. For full Excel functionality, sheets can be exported as .xlsx or CSV.

Claude Data (generally available)

Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, connects to data warehouses, CRMs and similar sources to build dashboards. Anthropic changed the name because the feature now handles more than dashboards. New additions:

• Data stories, which present data in a narrative format
• Use of metric definitions certified by data teams
• Live sharing of dashboards
• Change history and version rollback

Certified queries and live sharing are in beta. A "Design" panel lets users pick a format, and Claude rebuilds the view from the same data.

Defaults by plan

Plan	Whiteboards	Sheets	Claude Data
Team	Enabled by default	Enabled by default	Enabled by default
Enterprise	Disabled by default	Disabled by default	Enabled by default on November 19

Administrators can change these settings at any time.

Interactive connectors expanded

Anthropic also expanded interactive connectors, which it introduced in January using MCP Apps, an extension of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Until now they mostly showed a small view of a tool inside the conversation. Supported tools can now open beside the conversation or in full screen.

When a user asks Claude to change an open page, row or file, the change is reflected in the tool in real time. Users approve Claude's actions the same way they do with existing connectors. For Confluence and Notion, the full editor opens with the user signed in to their own account, rather than a limited preview.

Examples named by Anthropic:

• Adobe: photo retouching, PDF editing and redaction
• Atlassian: writing and editing Confluence pages
• Box: file edits and version comparison
• Notion: creating documents and databases

Asana, Canva, Dropbox, HubSpot, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow also support the feature. Figma, Harvey and Shopify are working on support. It is rolling out on the web and desktop apps for all plans. Related developer features are in public preview.

Anthropic also said Claude Meetings, which joins calls, takes notes and updates team documents during the conversation, is coming soon. No date was given.

What this means

Claude is gaining shared, editable work surfaces inside the product, not only chat output. Sheets is explicitly limited for now, and the .xlsx and CSV export is the stated path for heavier spreadsheet work.

The plan defaults show a split between administrator control and ease of adoption. Team workspaces get everything on by default. Enterprise administrators must opt in to Sheets and Whiteboards, while Claude Data, now generally available, switches on by default on November 19 unless an admin changes it.

The interactive connector change moves editing of third-party content into Claude itself. Because Claude's actions go through the same user approval as earlier connectors, the approval model stays the same while the interface gets larger.

Pricing changes were not mentioned: the features are included for paid plans, and no separate fees were given.
