Claude is adding collaborative workspaces that keep projects inside its environment instead of requiring people to copy outputs into other tools. Whiteboards and Sheets are launching in beta, while the former Claude Dashboards product is now generally available as Claude Data. All three are available on paid plans across web, desktop, and mobile, and teams can share and edit work together before exporting or continuing in partner apps.
Whiteboards turns conversations and rough plans into shared boards, such as timelines with owners and dates; teams can add and group meeting notes, draft action items, and ask questions about selected board areas. Boards can become documents or presentations, or move to tools such as Miro and Lucid. Sheets creates and edits spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting, and dropdowns, while showing edits; its current features are basic, with Excel files and CSVs available for export. Claude Data connects to company data sources and supports certified metric queries, narrated data stories, dashboards with live sharing, design systems, caching, and edit history with rollback. Shared dashboard viewers see results rather than underlying data and can run only approved queries. Interactive connectors can also open partner apps alongside Claude conversations. On Team plans the tools are enabled by default; on Enterprise, Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, while Data is scheduled to turn on November 19, 2026.
