giftdetect· the right gift in minutesAnthropic on November 10 (US time) added two collaborative features to its Claude AI assistant in beta: Claude Sheets, a spreadsheet, and Claude Whiteboards, a shared board for brainstorming. The company also renamed Claude Dashboards, launched in beta in October, to Claude Data and made it generally available. All three work on every paid plan across web, desktop and mobile, with a gradual rollout.
Sheets, Whiteboards and Claude Data
In Whiteboards, Claude turns plans discussed in a conversation into a board with timelines, owners and due dates. It can group notes by theme, draft action items and answer questions about a selected part of the board. Finished boards can be converted into documents or slides, with Lucid, Miro and Vani by Zoho named as integration targets.
Claude Sheets lets Claude create and edit spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdowns. Its changes are highlighted so teams can track them, and sheets can be shared and edited further. Anthropic describes it as a simple spreadsheet feature for now, to be expanded; for full Excel functionality, sheets can be exported as .xlsx or CSV.
Claude Data, formerly Dashboards, connects to data warehouses and CRMs. It gains data stories, use of metric definitions certified by data teams, live dashboard sharing, and change history with version rollback. Certified queries and live sharing are in beta.
On Team plans all three are enabled by default. On Enterprise, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, while Claude Data switches on by default on November 19. Admins can change settings at any time.
Interactive connectors expand
Anthropic also extended interactive connectors, introduced in January through the MCP Apps extension of the Model Context Protocol. Supported tools can now open beside the conversation or full screen, and changes Claude makes to a page, row or file appear in the tool in real time. Users approve Claude's actions as with earlier connectors. In Confluence and Notion, the full editor opens under the user's own sign-in.
Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion are among the partners, alongside Asana, Canva, Dropbox, HubSpot, monday.com, Smartsheet, Vercel and Webflow. Figma, Harvey and Shopify are working on support. The rollout covers all plans on web and desktop, and a related developer feature is in public preview. Anthropic also said Claude Meetings, which joins calls, takes notes and updates team documents, is coming soon.
