Claude Data Switches On for Enterprise on 19 November: Admins Have Six Days to Decide
- What happened
- On 10 November Anthropic put Claude Whiteboards and Sheets in beta and made Claude Dashboards generally available as Claude Data, on all paid plans.
- Why it matters
- Claude Data, which queries Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse, turns on by default for Enterprise organizations on 19 November unless an admin acts first.
- What to do
- Enterprise admins: set Claude Data in Organization settings > Artifacts before 19 November.
Verdict: if you run a Claude Enterprise organization, decide on Claude Data before 19 November, because from that date it is on unless you turn it off. Whiteboards and Sheets stay opt-in for Enterprise, and all three are already on for Team plans. Claude Data queries company data warehouses, so it is the one feature here that deserves a deliberate admin decision rather than a default. We have not tested any of the three features.
Affected product: Claude (Anthropic's assistant app, Team and Enterprise plans). Claude is not yet listed in our directory.
What happened
Anthropic announced on 10 November 2026: "Today we're launching Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets in beta, and Claude Dashboards becomes generally available as Claude Data." The announcement says all three "are available on all paid plans."
| Feature | Status | What it does, per Anthropic |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Whiteboards | Beta | A collaborative board that turns brainstorm notes into grouped themes, action items and timelines with owners and dates; exports to docs, decks, Lucid, Miro or Vani by Zoho |
| Claude Sheets | Beta | Generates spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdowns from a prompt; exports to .xlsx or CSV; works with Airtable, Asana, monday.com and Smartsheet |
| Claude Data | Generally available (was Claude Dashboards) | Queries company data in Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse, with certified metric definitions, data stories, live sharing with tracked changes and configurable cache refresh; partners include Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, Sigma and ThoughtSpot |
The same release lets interactive connectors "open as full apps beside your conversation or in full screen", with partners including Adobe, Atlassian, Box and Notion.
Why it matters
The defaults differ by plan, and one of them changes on a fixed date. Anthropic's wording: "On Team plans, all three are on by default. On Enterprise plans, Claude Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on November 19, 2026. You can change these anytime in Organization settings > Artifacts."
| Plan | Whiteboards | Sheets | Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team | On | On | On |
| Enterprise | Off | Off | On from 19 November |
A feature that connects to Redshift, BigQuery or ClickHouse switching on by default is a governance event, not a UI tweak. If your data access review has not covered it, the default makes the decision for you on 19 November.
What changes for you
- Enterprise admins: open Organization settings > Artifacts before 19 November and set Claude Data deliberately, on or off. Whiteboards and Sheets need no action unless you want them.
- Team admins: all three are already on. Check that Claude Data's warehouse access and Sheets' partner integrations fit your data policies, and switch off what does not.
- Everyone: Whiteboards and Sheets are beta. Treat exports to .xlsx, CSV or partner tools as drafts to verify, not finished artifacts.
What to do
- 1 Enterprise admins: open Organization settings > Artifacts before 19 November and decide whether Claude Data should switch on.
- 2 Team admins: check that Whiteboards, Sheets and Data, all on by default, fit your data policies.
