Coda is designed with collaboration in mind. Whether want to invite your teammates to help build out your task tracker, share a wiki with your entire company, or just show off something cool you’ve built - sharing your doc is easy. To make it most convenient for you, we’ve even built a variety of options for how you can share your doc. Check them out below.

If you just want to share a specific doc with a handful of specific people, this is probably the option for you. You can invite anyone to collaborate on your Coda doc - you just need their email address. Simply click the Share icon in the upper right corner of your doc, then type the email address of the person you'd like to share with.

💡Tip: Coda makes it especially easy by allowing you to search your Slack, Google, or Microsoft contacts. You’ll see tabs for these search options in the Share dialog.

When you invite someone, you can decide what type of access they'll have:

You can also use the Notify people toggle to decide whether you’d like to send them a notification or not.

Maybe you have a number of docs that you regularly want to share with the same limited group of people. In this instance, you may want to use private folders to manage sharing. Once you add these people as members of this private folder, they’ll automatically have access to every doc that lives within the folder - without you having to manually invite them doc by doc.

Alternatively, if you want to make your doc widely accessible to your entire workspace, you can make sure your doc lives in a shared folder. Shared folders are accessible to everyone in your Coda workspace, as are all docs that live within those folders.

You can read all about folders and how to use them here.

Note that private folders are only available on the Team and Enterprise tiers of Coda.

If you're logged in to Coda with a business email address (for example, @companyname.com - not @gmail.com), you'll have the opportunity to share any docs that you own with everyone else that has the same domain as you (their email ends in the same @companyname.com as yours).

While in your doc, click on Share in the upper right corner of your doc. Then find the option that says Anyone with a [insert domain] email address. Just as with the other sharing options, you can choose what level of access to grant these folks: can view, can comment, or can edit.

Instead of having to enter email addresses or share with just your organization, you can also share a Coda doc with a link. This is particularly useful when you want to share very broadly. It’s important to note that using this sharing method allows anyone with the link access to your doc, so it’s suggested that you don’t utilize this option for docs containing personal, company, or other private information.

To share your doc via a link, start by clicking the Share icon in the upper right. Within the share dialogue, you’ll see the Anyone with the link setting. Click the dropdown that corresponds with this setting, and choose what type of access the link should give: view, comment, or edit.

Then, towards the bottom of the share dialog, you’ll see a Copy link button. Click that to copy the link to your doc, then share that link as desired.

💡Tip: You can even choose which page in your doc you’d like that link to lead to. From the dropdown, select either Current page or First page. This feature helps you efficiently share a page, without requiring your invitees to navigate through the whole doc.

When you open up the Share settings for your doc, you’ll see a slider icon in the upper right of the pop-up. Click this to open the advanced sharing settings.

Here, you’ll find the following options to give you even more control over sharing your doc:

More options?! That’s right. In addition to all of the sharing methods discussed above, you can also share by inviting specific Google Groups to your doc. Additionally, you can share via publishing or embedding your doc on external platforms. Check out those respective articles to learn more.
