Claude Launches Tools for Teams to Build Boards and Spreadsheets Together
Anthropic has launched Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta. Claude Dashboards is now generally available as Claude Data, with added data-sharing features. All three products are available on paid plans.
Anthropic on November 10 (local time) introduced tools that let teams organize ideas and build spreadsheets together inside Claude. Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets launched in beta. Claude Dashboards, introduced in beta in October, was renamed Claude Data and became generally available. All three products are available on paid plans.
Claude Whiteboards Turns Meeting Notes into Plans
Claude Whiteboards is a board where teammates and Claude can organize ideas together. It can turn a plan described in words into a schedule with assigned owners and dates. For example, Claude can group notes from a retrospective meeting by theme, then draft follow-up tasks.
Users can select an area of a board by drawing a box around it to ask questions, or turn its contents into documents and presentations. They can also move their work to Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho to continue there.
Anthropic said that once users moved Claude’s responses to another program, it had been difficult to keep up with subsequent changes in real time. Teams can now keep documents, boards, spreadsheets, and dashboards in Claude and edit them together.
Claude Sheets and Data Bring Collaborative Spreadsheets and Data Sharing
Claude Sheets creates spreadsheets for work based on user requests and lets teams edit them together. Ask for a campaign tracker or a hiring budget, and it builds a spreadsheet with tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown options. When Claude edits cells, it highlights the changes.
According to Anthropic, the tool currently supports basic spreadsheet functions. Users who need Excel’s full capabilities can export files in Excel format (.xlsx) or CSV. They can also use Claude for Excel.
Claude Data adds metric management and sharing features to the ability to ask questions about company data. Its predecessor, Claude Dashboards, let users ask questions about data stored in services such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse.
The newly added “certified queries” feature lets data teams approve shared ways of querying data. Charts created using approved queries receive a certification badge. Users can also create written explanations or explainer videos about metrics and review them before sharing.
A new live-sharing feature lets colleagues see the latest figures when they open a shared dashboard. Even colleagues without access to the data connector can view approved query results. They cannot use the sharer’s permissions to query other data. Certified queries and live sharing are available in beta.
Claude Data can save results for reuse and lets users set a refresh schedule for each dashboard. It also lets users see who made changes and restore a specific version.
Where and When Are the Tools Available?
All three products work on the web, desktop, and mobile. Claude Data requires a connection to a data store, a customer relationship management system, or another data source.
All three products are enabled by default on Team plans. On Enterprise plans, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets are disabled by default. Claude Data will be enabled by default on November 19, 2026. Administrators can change these defaults in organization settings.
The experience of using connected external tools has also changed. Users can open connected tools like apps beside a conversation or in full screen. They can work directly in tools from Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Notion, and others, or ask Claude to make changes.
The launch brings the work of turning meeting notes into action plans and creating spreadsheets into Claude. Teammates can then edit the results together in the same space.
