Why it matters
On the Team plan all three tools are on by default, but on Enterprise, Whiteboards and Sheets start disabled and Claude Data switches on by default on November 19, 2026, so administrators carry the rollout decision.
Key Facts
- Anthropic released Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta and made Claude Data generally available.
- Claude Sheets supports tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown lists, and exports files in XLSX or CSV format.
- Claude Data connects to data platforms including Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse.
- Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards, and Claude Data are available to paid plan subscribers on web, desktop, and mobile.
- On the Enterprise plan, Claude Data becomes enabled by default on November 19, 2026.
Claude Sheets carries tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown lists, and Claude can create and edit sheets directly. Teams can share a sheet so several people and Claude work in it together, and files export as XLSX or CSV, with handoff to Excel through the Claude for Excel extension. Claude Whiteboards turns a spoken, unorganized plan into a board with a timeline listing owners and dates, which a team can then edit in real time. Claude Data connects to platforms including Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse and builds dashboards and short narrated videos from the data. The three tools are for paid plan subscribers and run on web, desktop, and mobile. Claude Data was previously in beta as Claude Dashboards and is now generally available under the new name.
Claude Data needs a data connector such as a data warehouse or CRM before it can analyze anything. The general availability under the new name follows a beta run as Claude Dashboards.
The rollout settings differ by plan. Team subscribers get Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets, and Claude Data enabled by default. Enterprise subscribers start with Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets disabled, and Claude Data becomes enabled by default on November 19, 2026.
Anthropic frames the Whiteboards tool around a specific gap: people using Claude as a thinking partner had to copy results elsewhere before brainstorming and collaboration could begin. With the board, explaining a rough plan to Claude produces a timeline with owners and dates that the team can share and edit in real time. The Sheets side keeps the output portable, since created files export in XLSX or CSV and can move to Excel through the Claude for Excel extension.
- Claude Sheets: Spreadsheet with tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdown lists; released in beta, exports to XLSX or CSV
- Claude Whiteboards: Shared board that turns a spoken plan into a timeline with owners and dates; released in beta
- Claude Data: Connects to Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, and ClickHouse; generally available after a beta as Claude Dashboards
