Not all Coda docs are used in the same way. You'll inevitably have a few that you use every week, and some that you'll only use once. This is where starred docs can help you stay organized.
Starring docs is a great way to mark docs of personal importance. After you star a doc, it will live in a section on your doc list called My Shortcuts. All starred docs, even from multiple different workspaces, will live in this section.
Starring docs only saves them to your personal My Shortcuts. It doesn’t affect the view for others in your workspace. If you’re wanting to shortcut docs not just for yourself but also for others in your team or workspace, you’ll use pinning instead.
Star your docs
To star a doc, hover over its name in the doc list and click the star icon. Alternatively, you can star a doc from within the doc itself. Hover over the doc title in the upper left corner, and click on the star.
Once you star a doc, you can access it quickly from the My Shortcuts tab of your doc list.
And, as your doc needs change, simply click the star again to un-star the doc and remove it from My Shortcuts.
