Claude adds shared spreadsheets and whiteboards
Claude Sheets and Whiteboards are entering beta on paid plans, while Claude Data becomes generally available with query-visible analysis; their access controls and capabilities differ.
Anthropic’s November 10 release brings work out of the chat transcript.
Claude Sheets lets a team and Claude edit the same spreadsheet, with formulas left in cells for inspection. Whiteboards turn a spoken, typed or sketched plan into a shared board. Both are beta features on paid plans. [1][2][3]
Claude Data, previously Dashboards, becomes generally available and can turn connected information into dashboards and data stories. Each chart exposes its SQL query and refresh time. Certified queries and live sharing remain beta features; “Data is generally available” does not make every part of it generally available. [1][4]
The useful trial is a small piece of real operating work: a project budget whose totals you can verify, or a planning board that becomes a document. Sheets supports common formulas and exports to Excel or CSV, but it cannot pull live data from connected apps at launch. Keep an existing complex workbook in its established tool. [2]
Take it further
Build a small, inspectable Claude Sheet Beta on Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise. Enterprise owners must enable it; plan usage limits apply. Use trial data appropriate to the beta’s controls.
