Anthropic on November 10Announcing Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards Beta, and renamed the original Claude Dashboards to Claude Data and officially launched it. Available on all paid plans, these three tools allow users and teams to collaborate on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and data dashboards directly within Claude.
The update on the same day also expanded the interactive connector so that external applications can be opened within Claude. However, the official preview of Claude Meetings is still marked as "coming soon" and is not a feature that has been opened this time.
Sheets handles formulas and pagination, and the Whiteboards support team brainstorms
Claude Sheets can create spreadsheets containing multiple paginations, formulas, formats, and drop-down menus. It can also directly modify cells and mark new modifications for easy tracking. Users can share forms so team members can edit them with Claude.
Anthropic explains that Sheets currently provides more basic spreadsheet functions. Users can export data to .xlsx or CSV; when a more complete spreadsheet workflow is required, Claude for Excel can also be used.
Whiteboards provides a co-edited digital whiteboard that can organize ideas, plan schedules, or classify team notes by topic, and then Claude drafts to-do items. After the discussion is completed, the whiteboard content can also be converted into a document or presentation.

Claude Data is officially launched, and some new features are still being tested
Claude Data continues the data analysis purpose of the original Dashboards, reading corporate data through data connectors, and creating dashboards, data stories, or short videos with narration.
This time the product as a whole has been officially launched, but "certification query" and real-time sharing are still test functions. Authentication query allows the data team to unify indicator definitions and reduce the problem of using different calculation methods for different dashboards; instant sharing allows colleagues to see updated numbers when opening the dashboard. Even if they do not have the original connector permissions, they can view the results of approved queries, but they cannot use the sharer's permissions to execute other queries.
External tools can embed Claude, Meetings is not yet live
According to AnthropicOverall Product Update Announcement, interactive connectors began allowing partners to embed applications directly into Claude. Users can operate external tools next to a conversation or in full screen, reducing the need to switch between tabs.
The official also announced that Claude Meetings will allow users to add Claude to the call in the future to help record key points and update team documents during the discussion. The announcement does not yet list an official opening date.
Enterprise management settings still affect available features
Sheets, Whiteboards, and Data support web pages, desktops, and mobile devices. Data needs to be connected to data sources such as data warehouses or CRMs.
The Team plan has these three tools turned on by default; the Enterprise plan's Whiteboards and Sheets are turned off by default, and Claude Data is expected to be turned on by default on November 19, 2026. Administrators can adjust the Artifacts item in the organization settings. The actual functions available in the enterprise workspace still depend on the management settings.
