Whiteboard GuideWhat you'll need
Claude Whiteboards is in beta on the Pro, Max, Ultra, Team, and Enterprise plans, on the web, Claude Desktop, and the Claude mobile apps. It is on by default on Team plans; on Enterprise plans an admin turns it on first. The Free plan is not listed. Source: Anthropic's Help Center.
Create your first whiteboard
Ask for a whiteboard in any chat, or open the Artifacts tab and select the Whiteboard tile. You can type, sketch, or dictate a brain dump with the microphone next to the send button; Claude groups related ideas, orders the steps, and connects the ones that depend on each other. Every board is saved in the Artifacts tab.
Turn a brain dump into a visual plan
Give Claude the raw notes, goals, and constraints. Ask it to group related ideas, identify milestones, and make dependencies visible. Review the result rather than assuming every generated detail is correct.
Useful follow-up: “Group these tasks by workstream and show which milestones depend on each other.”
Select a region and improve the details
Drag across a region of the board to ask Claude about just that part. You can also ask Claude to regroup the whole board by theme, turn it into a timeline, or add what's missing between two steps. Ask Claude to clarify a milestone, expose missing owners, or break a large task into smaller actions.
“Review the launch timeline. Identify tasks without owners, highlight date conflicts, and suggest a clearer sequence. Do not invent dates.”
Share, export, or continue working elsewhere
Click Share to invite teammates: everyone edits live, and you can follow a teammate around the board. People outside your organization can join by email invitation. Then choose the handoff that matches your next step.
Keep working in Claude
Ask Claude to turn the board into a doc or deck, for example: “Turn this board into a project plan.”
Save a visual copy
Click Share, go to Export, and choose PNG. PNG is the only file export at launch.
Continue in another canvas
Use Send to: Lucid, Miro, and Zoho Vani at launch, with more planned.
Review before sharing
Check names, dates, assumptions, and sensitive information before sharing.
