As you and your team work out of Coda, you’ll almost certainly be making changes to the rows within your tables. Whether it’s filling in a new column, updating existing data, or deleting outdated info from a row, a single row can undergo a lot of changes. The row activity feature allows you to see a full log of all the activity for a single row, so you can better understand the history and any changes that have taken place.

Access row activity
To access the activity log for a row, follow these steps:
Hover over the row, and press the expand row arrows that appear at the left edge of the row
Alternatively, you can right-click on the row and select Expand row from the options. Or use the keyboard shortcut to open the row.
Scroll to the bottom of the row, and select Activity (right above the comment bubble)
Now you’ll see the most recent activity for the row. If there is more activity to be shown, you’ll see a Show more button.
Within this row activity section, you can see all changes and activity related to the row, including:
Who created the row initially (and when)
When values are updated (and by whom)
Any comments that have been left on the row (even resolved comments)
Automations that took action on the row

Is there a way to hide row activity for a table?
Is there a way to hide row activity for a table?
Yes, you can hide the Activity section of a row via the row layout editing tools. While editing the row layout, find the Controls section and click the eye icon next to Comments. This will hide not only the comments section from the bottom of the row, but also the activity tab.
Please note that this isn’t a secure method of hiding row activity, as anyone with edit access is still able to unhide the Activity section.
