Summary
Anthropic announced Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data, alongside interactive connectors that let partner apps work inside Claude. Several features, including auto-connect and parts of Claude Data, are in beta.
Anthropic announced Claude Sheets, Claude Whiteboards and Claude Data on November 10, 2026, expanding Claude’s workplace tools beyond documents, slide decks and designs. The company also introduced interactive connectors that allow partner apps to be embedded in Claude, and described ways for teams to carry work between formats while keeping connected tools under administrator controls.
Spreadsheets, whiteboards and dashboards in Claude
Claude Sheets lets teams build and edit spreadsheets with Claude, organize data, create formulas and work across multiple tabs. Claude Whiteboards provides a shared space to lay out and organize ideas, including in meetings, and then ask Claude to summarize the results.
Claude Data, previously called Dashboards, connects to services such as Snowflake and Salesforce. It can use definitions certified by a team’s data specialists—a feature marked beta—to create dashboards, visual data stories and narrated short videos. Teams can also ask Claude to make custom artifacts for particular workflows, such as an account tracker, project status board or contract review table.
Anthropic says Claude carries context between these artifacts, so information developed on a whiteboard can be used in a spreadsheet and then a dashboard without the team having to restate the details. That cross-format workflow is central to the announcement: Claude is being positioned not just to produce separate files, but to help move work between them.
The company also described Claude Meetings, planned for a future release. Anthropic says it will let users add Claude to a call to take notes and update documents being worked on during the conversation; the announcement gives no release date.
Connectors bring partner apps into the workflow
Claude already uses connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard Anthropic introduced for linking AI systems to external tools. With the new interactive connectors, partners can embed their apps directly in Claude, including Adobe and Atlassian, so people can work with those apps without switching tabs. The announcement also lists plugins from Salesforce, NetSuite and Workday that include built-in skills for tasks such as sales-call preparation, financial-data analysis, and handling time off and expenses. The Salesforce and Workday plugins are marked beta.
Anthropic says enterprise administrators can decide which products and connectors employees may use and set organizational spend limits. Claude operates within users’ existing permissions, and administrators can restrict connector actions—for example, allowing Claude to read Slack without permitting it to send messages. Auto-connect, which lets employees connect to eligible tools the first time they use them in Claude, is in beta on eligible Team and Enterprise plans.
The company describes the tools as designed for collaborative work, but its examples of time savings are specific reports rather than general performance measures. Anthropic says its legal team built a Slack-based review tool using its own playbook, reducing marketing-review turnaround from three days to 24 hours; a lawyer still reviews the draft. The example illustrates how a team’s own rules and connected information can be incorporated into a workflow, while the review remains part of the process.
