Hi everyone. New here. Is there any reason for me not to just have everything in one doc? I’m just one person (not a team or company) so I don’t care about permissions or visibility. I’m planning on paying so I don’t have a limit on doc size. If everything is nested in the same doc I can see all …

[image] Sarah_Arminta: Is there any reason for me not to just have everything in one doc? Hi @Sarah_Arminta , definitely no: no reason at all! :slight_smile: Having different docs is usually meant for different teams and purposes. Or to manage significant amount of data, that usually is not…

Perfect! Thank you for the reply!

@Sarah_Arminta The main reasons are permissions and scalability, it seems in your case that isn’t an issue. The other main issue is doc size. Once your doc reaches 125mb, performance will degrade and you will be unable to access the API or use CrossDoc and other features. Something to consider de…

Oh interesting! :thinking: Is there a way that I can view my current doc size? Thanks!

@Sarah_Arminta the method I use is to open up the inspector. In Chrome(ium)/Brave/Dissenter/etc you can press Command + Option + i Then click the Network tab and refresh your page. You will see in the bottom the total amount of data transferred.

Oh, I didn’t know about that, that sounds like potentially big limitation. Especially once attachments go live :thinking: It would be almost impossible to use doc for any serious business case that involves attachments as part of workflow :confused: I hope they change those limits soon

Hi @Marko_Petrovic , attachments are treated as blob and URL-referenced, so they are actually not part of the whole document size. So it’s more the amount of data (and document complexity) rather objects’ size.

@Federico_Stefanato are you sure about this? What about the image previews? Do those count?

Hi @Johg_Ananda , I would assume that all images - also thumbnails - are stored in a blob repository and referenced from there as an external reference, therefore they are not affecting the overall document size. This is what comes out from the page inspection, at least. Obviously happy to know if…

Update - We got a definitive answer from Coda here: [image] Beta: Attachments [Closed because we've launched!] News from Coda Codans, can we get clarification if attachments count against the doc size? What about image previews / thumbnails? Thanks! [ima…
