## Key points

- Anthropic began rolling out Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data on November 10, 2026. Whiteboards and Sheets are in beta on all paid plans.
- Claude Whiteboards is a shared board. Claude can lay out a spoken plan as a timeline with owners and dates, group notes by theme and turn the board into a doc or deck.
- Claude Sheets builds spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs. Anthropic says the feature set is simple for now, with export to .xlsx or CSV.
- Claude Dashboards, in beta since October, is now generally available as Claude Data. It adds data stories, narrated videos, caching and tracked changes.
- Interactive connectors now open a partner app in full beside the chat, on all plans on web and desktop. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, HubSpot and Notion are among the first.

## At a glance

- **What launched?** Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and Claude Data, the new name for Claude Dashboards, as generally available. All three are on paid plans.
- **Is any of it on the free plan?** Anthropic lists the three artifact types on paid plans only. The upgraded interactive connectors are rolling out on all plans, on web and desktop.
- **Can I use it today?** Maybe not yet. Anthropic says the updates are starting to roll out and may not show up right away. On Enterprise plans an admin must switch Whiteboards and Sheets on.

**Anthropic began rolling out Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data on November 10, 2026.** Whiteboards and Sheets are new and in beta. Claude Data is the new name for Claude Dashboards, which leaves beta. All three are on paid plans. Claude's [post on X](https://x.com/claudeai/status/2120206365759094857) went up at 17:26 UTC: "Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data."

Anthropic published three articles with it: an [overview](https://claude.com/resources/articles/more-ways-to-work-with-claude-sheets-whiteboards-and-interactive-connectors), a piece on [the three artifact types](https://claude.com/resources/articles/sheets-whiteboards-data) and one on [interactive connectors](https://claude.com/resources/articles/interactive-connectors-full-tool), which were upgraded the same day. This page reads all three. One caution comes from Anthropic's own thread: "These updates are starting to roll out today, so you may not see them all right away."

## What launched

Three cards appear in turn, joined by arrows: Claude Whiteboards, beta, all paid plans; Claude Sheets, beta, all paid plans; Claude Data, generally available, formerly Claude Dashboards.

*What Anthropic began rolling out on November 10, and the status of each part.*

*Table: What Anthropic launched on November 10, 2026 (per its three articles)*

| Product | What it is | Status | Plans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Whiteboards | A shared board where a team brainstorms with Claude | Beta | All paid plans |
| Claude Sheets | A spreadsheet Claude builds and edits with you | Beta | All paid plans |
| Claude Data (was Claude Dashboards) | Dashboards, data stories and narrated videos from connected data | Generally available; certified queries and live sharing in beta | All paid plans |
| Interactive connectors, upgraded | A partner tool open in full beside the chat, or full screen | Rolling out | All plans, on web and desktop |
| Claude Meetings | Claude joins a call, takes notes and updates the team's documents | Coming soon | Not stated |

Anthropic's reason for building these is that work used to leave Claude. A plan made in a chat was pasted into another tool, where Claude could no longer follow the changes. Boards, sheets and dashboards now stay in Claude, and the team can keep editing them there.

## Claude Whiteboards

- **Talk, and Claude draws the plan.** You can talk through a messy plan and Claude turns it into a board, with a timeline that has owners and dates.
- **It sorts a meeting's notes.** In a retro, everyone adds notes. Claude groups them by theme and drafts the action items for each person.
- **Ask about one corner.** Drag a box around part of the board and ask Claude about that part.
- **It leaves when you want.** Claude can turn the board into a doc or a deck, or send it to Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.

## Claude Sheets

- **A sheet from a prompt.** Ask for a campaign tracker or a hiring budget and Claude builds a spreadsheet with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs.
- **Edits you can follow.** Claude edits in the cells and outlines each new edit, so you can see what it changed.
- **Shared with the team.** You, your team and Claude work on the same sheet.
- **Limited, and Anthropic says so.** "For now, sheets have simple spreadsheet functionality, but we are working on adding more."
- **Ways out.** Export to .xlsx or CSV, use Claude for Excel, or continue in Airtable, Asana, monday.com or Smartsheet.

## Claude Data

Claude Dashboards launched in beta in October ([our post from October 8](https://cellcog.ai/blog/claude-dashboards-motion/)). It is now generally available under a new name. Anthropic explains the rename in one line: "We changed the name because the way companies use their data is broader than dashboards".

What is new in it:

- **Certified queries, in beta.** A data team can certify the queries everyone should use. Charts built on them carry a badge that marks them as certified.
- **Stories and videos.** Claude can draft a data story or a narrated video from your metrics, for you to review before you share it.
- **Live sharing, in beta.** Colleagues see current numbers without their own access to the data source. "Viewers see dashboard results rather than the underlying data, and they can run only the queries you've approved."
- **Housekeeping.** Design systems are supported, dashboards can be cached with a refresh schedule for each one, and tracked changes let you roll back to an earlier version.
- **Sources and partners.** Anthropic names Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Snowflake and Salesforce as data sources. Its partners for Claude Data are Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma.

## Interactive connectors

Until now a connector showed a small live view of a tool inside the conversation. Since November 10, where a connector supports it, the whole tool can open beside the chat or full screen.

- **Claude works in the open tool.** You can ask it to change a page, a row or a file you have open. You "approve its actions the same way you approve a connector's actions".
- **Your own login.** For tools like Confluence or Notion you get the full editor, signed in to your own account.
- **Pinned tools.** You can pin the tools you use most to the sidebar.
- **Which tools.** Anthropic lists Asana, Canva, Carta, Dropbox, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow, and describes uses for Adobe, Atlassian, Box, HubSpot and Notion. Figma, Harvey and Shopify are building integrations.
- **For developers.** These run on MCP Apps, an open extension to the Model Context Protocol, and the new capabilities are in public preview. "An MCP App you build isn't limited to Claude and can run in any AI application that supports the extension".

## Who gets it, and what admins must do

Whiteboards, Sheets and Data work on web, desktop and mobile. Claude Data needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or a CRM. The upgraded connectors are on web and desktop.

*Table: Admin defaults for the three artifact types (per Anthropic, November 10, 2026)*

| Plan | Claude Whiteboards | Claude Sheets | Claude Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team | On by default | On by default | On by default |
| Enterprise | Off by default | Off by default | On by default from November 19, 2026 |

Admins change these in Organization settings, under Artifacts. None of the three articles gives a price for the new features.

## The numbers Anthropic offers

The articles contain few numbers, and all of them are Anthropic's or its customers'.

- **One finance team.** Ash Gupta of Advantage Solutions says a forecast cycle took his team about 10 hours of slides, commentary and validation. "We automated that assembly work in Claude and brought it down to under 30 minutes."
- **Anthropic's own legal team.** It built a review tool in Slack with Claude. Anthropic says marketing reviews went from three days to 24 hours.
- **The catalog.** Claude Marketplace lists more than 9,000 connectors and plugins, including ones built by the community.

Read these as testimonials. Anthropic chose them for a launch post, and nobody outside has measured them.

## What Anthropic says about control

- **Admins decide.** On Enterprise plans, admins choose who can use which products and connectors, and can limit what each connector does.
- **Auto-connect, in beta.** On eligible Team and Enterprise plans an admin sets up an app once. Each employee is then connected the first time they use it.
- **Oversight.** Enterprise security teams get audit logs and a Compliance API that works with more than 100 security and compliance tools.
- **Isolation.** In the new Claude experience on Enterprise, "each cloud session runs in its own isolated virtual machine", with connector credentials kept outside it.

## Where CellCog sits

CellCog runs its AI employees on Claude Opus 5.5, so we follow what Anthropic ships closely. This page reports what Anthropic published. We have not used Whiteboards, Sheets or the renamed Data ourselves, because the rollout has not reached every account.

The two products answer different questions. These artifacts are things you and your team make with Claude, inside Claude. An AI employee is given a job and keeps doing it between conversations. A company can use both.

## What to watch

- When Sheets gets past what Anthropic calls simple spreadsheet functionality.
- A date for Claude Meetings.
- November 19, when Claude Data turns on by default for Enterprise plans.
- The Figma, Harvey and Shopify integrations.
- When Whiteboards and Sheets leave beta.
