FAQs
Is there any way to ensure that everyone views a doc in dark mode?
Currently, there is no way to ensure that others view a doc in dark or light mode. Each individual user has the choice of how they prefer to view the doc.
Can I permanently adjust my Coda account to always view docs in dark mode?
There isn't currently any account-level setting for dark/light mode. However, if you adjust the appearance to dark mode via the steps above, you will continue viewing in dark mode as you move across Coda and across different docs.
Similarly, if you choose the Use system setting option for appearance, then Coda will match whatever settings you have set for your device.
