Comments are an easy way to have conversations about what is happening in your Coda docs. And to help you keep track of these comments, Coda will send notifications when there’s a new comment that’s relevant to you. But you also have the ability to opt into or out of notifications for comments across a doc. This article will explain your options for subscribing to (and unsubscribing from) comment notifications.

If you participate in a comment thread or are explicitly mentioned by a teammate (via @ mentioning), you'll always receive notifications for further interaction in that thread. It's not currently possible to opt-out of these notifications.

If you don't participate in or get mentioned in a thread, but want to stay abreast of new comments on a particular part of your doc, you can subscribe to comments. Alternatively, you can also unsubscribe from comments on specific objects (or entire docs) as needed.

You can subscribe to comments for the following objects in a doc:

Note that you are subscribed by default to comments on any object you create. For instance, if you create a table, you will automatically be subscribed to any subsequent comments on that table. Similarly, doc owners are subscribe by default to all comments on any part of their doc. But you can opt out or opt into these notifications as needed. Check out the sections below to learn how.

By default, doc owners are subscribed to all comments on a doc. Additionally, all doc users are subscribed by default to any object they create.

Maybe you own a very large doc where you've created many objects (tables, rows, pages, etc.), so you're now subscribed to quite a few objects. You could go through and unsubscribe from each object individually (by following the steps in the subsequent sections), but that can take some time.

Alternatively, you can now unsubscribe from (or subscribe to) all objects at once. To do so, follow these steps:

If you’ve toggled the All comments option off, you will still be subscribed to all object that you’ve created. You will see these objects listed in the notifications panel (segmented into Canvas content and Tables). You can then choose to unsubscribe from specific objects by clicking the bell icon next to each. Alternatively, if you want to unsubscribe to all those objects at once, click the Unsubscribe from all button.

If needed, you can then go and subscribe to the individual objects you care about most by following the steps in the subsequent sections.

You can manage comment subscription settings for pages and subpages in your doc by following these steps:

Note that it isn’t currently possible to subscribe to all tables on a pages with a single click. Instead, you will need to subscribe to the tables individually. Check out the next section to learn how.

To subscribe to notifications for comments on a single table, follow these steps:

You’ll now be notified for any and all comments on this table.

To subscribe to the comments on an individual row, open the row's detail view by clicking on the Expand row icon or selecting the row and using the keyboard shortcut Opt + Space.

In the expanded row, find the comments section (typically at the bottom of the row). Click the bell icon see your subscription options. Toggle on the All comments option to be notified of any and all comment activity in the row. Or toggle this off to only be notified for comments where you’re tagged or you participate.
