Claude Dashboards goes GA as Claude Data, Sheets in beta

Anthropic on November 10 took Claude Dashboards out of beta under a new name, Claude Data, and opened Whiteboards and Sheets in beta on all paid plans, according to Claude’s announcement. Enterprise workspaces get Claude Data switched on by default on November 19, while Whiteboards and Sheets stay off there until an admin enables them; on Team plans all three are on from the start.

For Enterprise, that flips the October arrangement. When Dashboards launched in beta on October 8, it was off by default for Enterprise organizations, and admins had to enable it under Organization settings (Artifacts). An Enterprise organization that never turned Dashboards on will have Claude Data on from November 19 unless an admin switches it off in Organization settings > Artifacts, the same page that controls Whiteboards and Sheets. Claude Data still needs a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM, before it has anything to query.

What Claude Data adds

The product itself works as Dashboards did: it connects to platforms such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse, takes questions in plain language and keeps the result current, with each chart showing the query that produced it. Anthropic says it changed the name because “the way companies use their data is broader than dashboards.” Two of the new pieces are still in beta inside the now generally available product:

• Certified queries: the data team certifies the queries everyone should use, and charts built on those metrics carry a “certified” badge.
• Live sharing: colleagues who open a shared dashboard see current numbers even without access to the connectors behind it. They see results rather than the underlying data and can run only the queries you approved.

The rest ships with general availability. Dashboards used to reload on every load; they now cache, and the refresh cadence is set per dashboard. Tracked changes show who edited what and let you roll back to a specific version. Claude can also draft data stories or narrated videos from your metrics for review before sharing, and design systems are supported. The named partners are Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma.

Sharing beyond the team has its own gate. In the Dashboards beta, a dashboard started private to its creator, sharing on Team and Enterprise stayed inside the organization by default, and link sharing with anyone required an Owner to turn on external sharing or allow that one item, The AI Adoption reported. Each dashboard is saved as an artifact and counts toward the plan’s usage limits like any other work in Claude.

Whiteboards and Sheets, in beta

Whiteboards is a shared board where a team brainstorms with Claude. You can talk through a messy plan and have Claude turn it into a timeline with owners and dates; in a retro, everyone adds notes and Claude groups them by theme and drafts action items per person. Dragging a box around part of the board focuses Claude’s answers on that area. A finished board can become a doc or deck, or move into Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho.

The same release lets interactive connectors open as full apps beside the conversation or in full screen, for tools like Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion. Whiteboards, Sheets and Data all run on web, desktop and mobile.

Sheets builds spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and drop-downs, often from a single prompt such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget. Claude edits in the cells and outlines each edit so changes can be tracked, and sheets can be shared with the team. Anthropic says sheets have “simple spreadsheet functionality” for now, with more on the way, and partner tools include Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet. For full Excel work, the file exports to .xlsx or CSV, or goes to Claude for Excel.
