Claude Sheets and Whiteboards arrive in beta on all paid plans
Anthropic has launched Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta, two new collaborative workspaces built into Claude, and on the same day moved Claude Dashboards out of beta under a new name, Claude Data. The company announced the release on November 10, 2026, and said the three products are available from that day on all paid Claude plans, which means Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise. Free accounts are not included.
The three products are artifact types, the shared objects Claude creates and keeps in the Artifacts tab next to the documents and slide decks that Anthropic introduced in September. Claude Sheets is a lightweight spreadsheet that Claude and a team edit together, with multiple tabs, formulas, conditional formatting, dropdowns and charts. Claude Whiteboards is a shared board where a spoken or typed plan becomes a layout with a timeline, owners and dates. Claude Data connects Claude to a data warehouse or a CRM and answers questions with dashboards, scrolling data stories or short narrated videos.
The rollout is not identical across plans. On Team plans all three products are switched on by default. On Enterprise plans, Sheets and Whiteboards stay off until an administrator enables them, while Claude Data will switch on by default on November 19, 2026 unless an owner has already saved a different setting. Every use of the new products counts toward the plan's normal usage limits, and Anthropic has not announced any separate price for them.

CLAUDE SHEETS, WHITEBOARDS AND CLAUDE DATA: AVAILABILITY BY PLAN.
Anthropic's announcement and its help center articles give a precise picture of who gets what. Individual subscribers on Pro, Max and Ultra receive the products directly, without an admin step. Organizations on Team plans get everything enabled, including the two beta features inside Claude Data, certified queries and live sharing. Enterprise organizations receive a more cautious default, which reflects the compliance reviews that larger companies usually run before a new data surface reaches employees.

The prices in the table are those shown on Claude's official pricing page on November 10, 2026, and they are unchanged by this launch. For a full breakdown of what each subscription includes, including usage windows and model access, see our guide to Claude plans and usage limits.
Anthropic says the products work on the web, desktop and mobile apps. The Claude Sheets help article is more specific for spreadsheets, stating that full editing is available on web and desktop while the mobile apps offer basic read-only access during the beta.

CLAUDE SHEETS FEATURES, LIMITS AND EXCEL EXPORT.
A Claude sheet can be started from any conversation or from the Sheets tile in the Artifacts tab, either by describing what is needed or by opening a blank grid. Anthropic's examples are a campaign tracker and a hiring budget generated from a single prompt. Claude can add tabs, write formulas that reference other tabs, apply formatting and conditional formatting, and insert dropdowns, checkboxes and charts. Formulas stay visible in their cells, and every change Claude makes is outlined as it happens, so a user can see which cells the model touched before accepting the result. The help center lists 144 supported functions, and version history can restore an earlier state of the sheet, which discards later edits.
Sheets are private when created. The Share button turns a sheet into a shared workspace where several people and Claude edit the same cells at the same time. Data can come in from a CSV file, from Excel, from Google Sheets, or by pasting, and the finished sheet can be exported as an .xlsx or CSV file. A "Send to" option hands the work to partner apps, and Anthropic names Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet as partners.
The beta has clear limits that matter to anyone thinking of moving real spreadsheet work into Claude.

Anthropic describes the current functionality as simple and says more is planned. For existing workbooks, or for work that needs the full feature set of a desktop spreadsheet, the company points users to Claude for Excel, part of Claude for Microsoft 365, or to Claude for Google Workspace. A sheet also cannot yet serve as a data source for a Claude document, deck or dashboard, so a finance team that builds a budget in Claude Sheets will still need to export it to feed other reports.

CLAUDE WHITEBOARDS FOR PLANNING, RETROSPECTIVES AND MEETINGS.
Claude Whiteboards targets the part of team work that usually happens on a physical whiteboard or in a tool such as Miro. A user can describe a rough plan aloud, and Claude turns it into a board with a timeline, named owners and due dates. Team members then edit the board together in real time. In Anthropic's retrospective example, Claude groups the sticky notes by theme and drafts action items for each person.
Two interaction details set the product apart from a static diagram. A user can drag a box around one area of the board and ask Claude about that section alone, which keeps questions focused on a single workstream. When the planning is finished, the board can be converted into a Claude document or slide deck, or imported into Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho for teams that keep their planning in those tools.
Anthropic has not published a help article with size limits or compliance status for Whiteboards, so it is safest to assume the same beta restrictions that apply to Sheets until the company documents otherwise.

CLAUDE DATA REPLACES CLAUDE DASHBOARDS WITH CERTIFIED QUERIES AND LIVE SHARING.
Claude Dashboards entered beta in October 2026. With general availability it becomes Claude Data, a name Anthropic chose because the product now produces more than dashboards. Users can generate dashboards, scrollytellers (scrolling data stories), visual shorts (short narrated videos) and written visual analyses. Existing dashboards keep working under the new name.
For each chart, Claude writes a SQL query, runs it against the connected source and shows both the query and the time of the last refresh. The help center names Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks and Snowflake as supported warehouses, and other connected apps such as Salesforce can also feed charts. There is no fixed refresh schedule: Claude refreshes the data when someone opens a dashboard and its cache is due, and editors can set refresh cadences per dashboard. Version history records who edited what and allows a rollback for everyone.
Two features remain in beta. Certified queries let a data team approve metric definitions that Claude reuses, and charts built on them carry a "certified" badge. Definitions can be certified inside Claude or imported from dbt, Looker or Cube through existing MCP connectors, and any edit to a certified query removes the certification. Live sharing lets colleagues see results produced through the owner's connections without holding access to the underlying source, limited to the exact queries the dashboard needs. Anthropic's documentation warns that anyone who receives a live-shared dashboard sees those results, so owners should review what a dashboard exposes before sharing it this way.

INTERACTIVE CONNECTORS AND THE CLAUDE MEETINGS PREVIEW.
The same announcement extends interactive connectors, the feature that renders a live app inside a Claude conversation instead of a text reply. Interactive connectors can now open as full apps beside a conversation or in full screen, and Anthropic names Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion among the apps that work this way. They use the permissions granted when the connector was first connected and do not request extra data access, and Team and Enterprise owners can disable the specific tool calls that render them in Organization settings.
Anthropic also presented Claude Meetings, which its product page lists as coming soon. The company has said Claude Meetings will start as a beta for Team and Enterprise plans and will work first with Google Meet, with Claude joining calls as a visible participant that drafts plans, builds a whiteboard during the conversation and answers questions in the meeting chat. Anthropic has said Claude announces itself in the call, will not join meetings with external guests unless an administrator authorizes it, and leaves if an external guest joins. No launch date, pricing or support for Zoom or Microsoft Teams has been announced.

WHAT CLAUDE TEAM AND ENTERPRISE ADMINS NEED TO DO BEFORE NOVEMBER 19.
For most organizations the practical work sits with Team and Enterprise owners. All three products are managed under Organization settings, Artifacts, in the templates section, and artifacts must be enabled for the organization before any of them appears. On Enterprise plans, owners can use custom roles to limit Sheets or Data to specific groups, which allows a pilot with a finance or operations team before a wider rollout.
The date that requires attention is November 19, 2026. On that day Claude Data turns on by default for Enterprise organizations that have not saved a setting. A company that wants to review data access first should save an explicit setting before then. The decision also depends on how the company's warehouse and CRM connectors are configured, since Claude Data queries those sources with each viewer's own connections unless live sharing is enabled. Security teams can map the new surfaces onto the existing controls described in our overview of Claude Enterprise security settings, including audit logs and the Compliance API.
Regulated teams face a harder limit. Claude Sheets does not support HIPAA, customer-managed encryption keys or zero data retention during the beta, so organizations that depend on those commitments should keep the spreadsheet feature disabled for now. Individual Pro, Max and Ultra users have nothing to configure and will find the new tiles in the Artifacts tab, alongside the Claude Docs and Claude Slides formats that arrived when Anthropic merged Claude Cowork and chat.

CLAUDE SHEETS, WHITEBOARDS AND DATA: CONFIRMED FACTS AND OPEN QUESTIONS.
The documented facts are specific. Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards are in beta on Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans from November 10, 2026, Claude Data is generally available on the same plans, and none of them carries an additional charge beyond normal usage limits. Sheets are capped at 100,000 cells with 144 functions, export to .xlsx and CSV, and lack pivot tables, macros and live connector data. Claude Data supports five named warehouses, adds certified queries and live sharing in beta, and becomes a default-on feature for Enterprise organizations on November 19.
Several points remain undocumented. Anthropic has not said how heavily Sheets, Whiteboards or Data draw on usage allowances compared with an ordinary conversation, which matters for Pro subscribers with tighter limits. There is no published size limit or compliance statement for Whiteboards, no date for the end of the beta, and no confirmed launch date for Claude Meetings or support for video platforms beyond Google Meet. The launch places Claude in direct competition with spreadsheet and whiteboard tools inside Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, but with its current 100,000-cell ceiling and missing pivot tables, Claude Sheets is positioned as a planning and tracking tool for teams, with Excel and Google Sheets still handling heavy analytical workbooks.
