Claude Whiteboards, Sheets and Data: what they are, who gets them, setup

Published 2026-11-10 · Last updated 2026-11-10

Short answer

Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data are three tools inside Claude that Anthropic launched on November 10, 2026. Whiteboards and Sheets are in beta. Claude Data, the new name for Claude Dashboards, is generally available. All three come with every paid Claude plan.

Anthropic's line: "Today we're launching Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and Claude Dashboards becomes generally available as Claude Data" (announcement, November 10, 2026). Every fact below links to its claude.com or support.claude.com source, checked 2026-11-10.

Claude Whiteboards

Status: beta. Anthropic calls it "a shared board where your team brainstorms with Claude" (announcement, November 10, 2026).

• Talk through a messy plan out loud and Claude can turn it into "a board with a timeline with owners and dates", so your team can work on it together in real time.
• In a retro, everyone adds notes. Claude groups them by theme and drafts action items for each person.
• To focus on one part of the board, drag a box around it and ask Claude questions about it.
• When you are done, Claude can turn the board "into a doc or deck, or bring it into tools like Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho."

Anthropic does not list Whiteboards limits beyond the beta label.

Claude Sheets

Status: beta. "Claude can now generate spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop-downs, often from just a prompt like asking for a campaign tracker or a hiring budget" (announcement, November 10, 2026).

• Claude edits in the cells and outlines each new edit, so you can track changes.
• You can share a sheet with your team and work on it together with Claude.
• Export to .xlsx or CSV, use Claude for Excel, or keep working in Airtable, Asana, monday.com or Smartsheet.

The stated limit: "For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more." Anthropic does not list which Excel features are missing. If you need the full Excel feature set, its advice is to export or use Claude for Excel (announcement, November 10, 2026).

Claude Data

Status: generally available. Certified queries and live sharing are still in beta. Claude Dashboards "launched in beta in October" and is now "generally available as Claude Data." Anthropic renamed it "because the way companies use their data is broader than dashboards" (announcement, November 10, 2026).

• Certified metrics. Your data team certifies the queries everyone should use. Charts built on them carry a "certified" badge.
• Data stories. Claude drafts data stories or narrated videos from your metrics for you to review before you share them.
• Live sharing. Colleagues see current numbers in a shared dashboard even without access to the connectors behind it. "Viewers see dashboard results rather than the underlying data, and they can run only the queries you've approved."
• Design systems are supported, so dashboards can match your look.
• Caching, with a refresh cadence you set per dashboard.
• Tracked changes: see who edited what and roll back to a specific version.

Claude Data "needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM." The announcement names Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse. Anthropic's partners for Claude Data are Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma (announcement, November 10, 2026).

Who gets them

"These are available on all paid plans" (announcement, November 10, 2026). What is on by default depends on the plan:

Admins change these "anytime in Organization settings > Artifacts" (announcement, November 10, 2026). The announcement gives no admin default for Pro, Max or Ultra. The pricing page marks all three as included on those plans.

Platforms

"Claude Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data work on web, desktop, and mobile. Claude Data needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM" (announcement, November 10, 2026).

Plan and price

Anthropic has announced no separate price for Whiteboards, Sheets or Data. They come with the plan. The pricing page lists Pro with "Claude Data, plus Sheets and Whiteboards (beta)" and Team with "Claude Data, plus Motion, Sheets, and Whiteboards (beta)". Plan prices as stated on that page, checked 2026-11-10:

The pricing page adds that "Usage limits apply." It does not give separate usage limits for these three tools.

Two names people mix up

Claude Sheets is not Claude for Google Sheets

Claude Sheets is a spreadsheet that lives inside Claude (announcement, November 10, 2026). Claude for Google Sheets is part of Claude for Google Workspace, an add-on that "adds a Claude sidebar to Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides" and edits the file you have open. You install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace, it is in beta for Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans, and it works only on the Google file you have open (Claude Help Center).

Claude Dashboards is now Claude Data

Anthropic launched Claude Dashboards in beta on October 8, 2026. On November 10, 2026 it became generally available under the name Claude Data (announcement, November 10, 2026). A second Anthropic post writes it as "Claude Data (formerly Dashboards)" (More ways to work with Claude). Same product, new name.
