How to share a Claude Sheet, Whiteboard or Data dashboard, and see who opened it
Claude's share menu gives you a link, and its help center describes no list of who opened it. Paste that link into ArtifactSend to put an email door in front of it and see every reader by name. It is free.

The short answer
In the Sheet, Whiteboard or dashboard, open Share and set it to Anyone with the link. Copy the link and paste it into ArtifactSend. You get a new link with the door you choose: any email, a verified email, or only the people you name. Readers pass the door, then the Sheet or Whiteboard opens in Claude, where it lives. You see who opened it, when and how often, and you can get an email the first time each person opens it.
ArtifactSend is free, with no limit on links, readers or team members.
What launched
On November 10, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta, and renamed Claude Dashboards to Claude Data, now generally available. Sheets are spreadsheets with tabs, formulas, formatting and dropdowns that you and Claude edit together. Whiteboards are shared canvases for planning with your team, with live cursors. Claude Data builds dashboards from a data connector, such as a warehouse or a CRM.
Anthropic says all three are on every paid plan. On Team plans they are on by default. On Enterprise, Sheets and Whiteboards are off by default, and Claude Data turns on by default on November 19, 2026.

Share a Claude Sheet or Whiteboard with tracking
The Sheet stays live. When you or Claude change a cell, readers see the change next time they open it, because it still opens in Claude.
- Open the Sheet or Whiteboard in Claude and select Share.
- Set it to Anyone with the link and copy the link. It looks like claude.ai/artifact/ followed by an id.
- Go to artifactsend.com and sign in with Google.
- Paste the link.
- Choose who can pass the door, set an expiry if you want one, and turn on the first-open alert.
- Send your ArtifactSend link instead of the Claude one.
What you see, and what you do not
For time spent on each sheet, export the Sheet as .xlsx in Claude and drop the file into ArtifactSend. Readers get a view-only spreadsheet, and you see which sheets each person read and for how long. For a Whiteboard, ask Claude to turn it into a doc or a deck, then send that as a tracked link.
- You see each reader by email, every time they open it, and when.
- You do not see time per section or a replay, because the Sheet or Whiteboard runs on Claude, not on ArtifactSend.
- The door protects the link you send. Anyone who already has the Claude link itself can still open it, so send only the ArtifactSend link.
Sharing a Claude Data dashboard outside your company
Claude's help center says a dashboard shared with live sharing, in beta, shows people in your organization results from your connection. For investors, clients or a board outside the company, ask Claude to write the numbers you want them to see into a page, then say "send this with ArtifactSend to dana@fund.com, only she can open it". The reader gets a fixed copy with those numbers, and you see how long they spent on each part.
Or do it from the Claude chat
Connect ArtifactSend to Claude once. Setup steps are on the Claude and ChatGPT page at artifactsend.com/mcp. Then paste the Sheet's link and say "send this to dana@fund.com as a tracked link, only she can open it". Later, ask "who opened it?" in the same chat.
