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.

Your workspace is where you can find all the docs that you and members in your organization are creating on Coda. It’s essentially your home base for all things Coda. Learn more about your workspace and workspace members here.

When you’re ready to share your doc, you can share it with everyone in your Coda workspace to make the doc widely accessible to all the members of your workspace.

While in your doc, click on Share in the upper right corner of your doc. Then find the option that says Anyone in [insert workspace name] workspace. If you see Anyone with [insert domain] email address instead, click on then then choose the workspace option from the dropdown. 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.

While you also have the option to share via email domain (see below), we recommend that you share the doc with everyone in your workspace if you want the doc to be accessed by all members of your workspace. This is especially useful if...

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. You may need to click on Anyone in [insert workspace name] workspace, then choose the email address option from the dropdown. 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.

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 folders to manage sharing. Anyone with access to a folder will also have access to all docs in the folder. You can also decide what level of access each individual has on the docs within the folder.

For example: Let’s say you have a folder with all the employee handbooks that’s shared with the whole workspace. You may want to give ‘Can edit’ access only to members of the HR team, and give everyone in the workspace ‘Can view’ access.

When you open a doc within the folder and click on the sharing dialog, you will now see all the people that have access to the doc via folder membership in addition to any users that you may have directly shared the doc with. You can change a user’s access on the doc by modifying their access directly from the sharing dialog.

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

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

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. If you're on an Enterprise plan, you also have the option to use SCIM to push user groups to Coda, for easier doc sharing. Check out those respective articles to learn more.
