There is somewhere a presentation sheet where you can see that this update is planned for july - so within the next 1.5 months I guess.
Where can I find that presentation?
I can’t find it again unfortunately. I was looking for it as now 1.5 months passed. Does anyone have any update on it? It’s now 14 months ago since they launched the last sharing update. Also, not a single update in july. ![]()
You can find it in here: Personally I think Coda is in some deep
with it’s architecture so they are confronting big issues that take a lot of time to go around.
All previous roadmap items from before the merger with Grammarly seem to in limbo. They might see the light of day but are certainly getting re-prioritized. This is my impression after chatting with support yesterday.
Hi there,
I was wondering if there are any updates regarding the ability to edit synced pages. It’s been over a year since this was first discussed, and for many of us, it’s become a critical missing piece.
Could you please share a realistic ETA for this much-requested feature?
To be frank, in its current form, the Page Sync functionality offers very limited value. Without the ability for users—who don’t have access to the source doc—to contribute or edit, the feature feels more like a read-only Cross Doc, which was already possible before.
This limitation defeats the purpose of what could be a powerful tool for data compartmentalization and access control. If we’re forced to grant access to the original Synced Doc just to enable interaction, we lose the very separation we’re trying to create.
I say this with the utmost respect, but it’s frustrating to see ongoing emphasis on visual/UI updates while such a strategic, community-requested improvement remains unaddressed for so long. It’s becoming harder to justify continued investment in a platform that seems to prioritize surface over substance.
Thanks for listening—and really hoping to hear some concrete news soon.
folks,
Many thanks for sticking with us—we know how frustrating the wait has been.
We’re actively investing in this area and your feedback continues to shape our approach, so please keep it coming.
We’ll share updates as soon as we have something concrete, cheers.
@Ayuba_Audu hi!
What specifically can the community do to help? It seems everyone is aligned and no doubt you are a hard at work. The thing that seems hard to reconcile is the amount of time that has passed since step 3 was released. Given you also made it clear that this is a priority all the way up to Shishir, what else can we do to help?
Offering some example questions below to connect the dots between all the discussions above;
Is it possible to share an updated timeline? Do you need any community input for decisions? Is there a way to break down the roadmap for interim releases? Is there any testing that is needed from the community? Following @lane ‘s excellent commitment to communication post merger, would a live community discussion help?
Others in the community please add your own thoughts / questions to help…
Dear @Ayuba_Audu,
I was very happy to read the latest from Coda about Superhuman and all the developments incorporating the newest AI technologies. I truly believe this is the way.

However, after reading the e-mail a painful realization came into my mind. Can it be that the page-level permission roadmap is not progressing for years now, because all the attention and effort goes to the merger and to uncover the potential of the AI?
How do you see it? Do we still have some hope that this road map will be finalized and we can get the page-level permission ready before Christmas?
Thank you very much for your answer in advance!
I ASSUME that it has got caught up in the idea of breaking Coda into a database layer, and a presentation layer…
is this going to happen in 2025?
I share your concern
There’s hardly been any substantial updates to Coda for the last year or two by now. All we hear is AI this, AI that, which I couldn’t care less about, that’s not what I signed up for.
But hey, “we’re listening”..! ![]()
It’s really hard not to get too cynical at this point
I can’t believe smaller companies with a fraction of Coda’s budget release WEEKLY features and updates, and have a public roadmap where they discuss the input from the community. Here is really almost no information about following week/weeks, new features in dev or testing, ideas being tried or rejected, time scope for big updates, just nothing… that is kind of sad because Coda has so much to offer to this community
folks,
In case you missed it, Nathan from our team shared the latest on page sharing here as part of introduing Superhman, please take a look, thank you!
@Ayuba_Audu are you referring to this extremely vague paragraph?
We’re working towards sub-doc sharing and know this is a top request. Many requests to share pages are for pages with data on them, where it’s important that users see only the data shown in views on that page.
We’re focused on those use cases first, and one of the key goals in our work to separate data from docs is to make it possible to share parts of a table without sharing the full doc or table.
We’ll enable ways to share views of data directly first, then over time add the ability to share pages of text content or mixed text and data as well.
I prefer a faster pace as well. I’m impressed when larger companies can move as quickly as smaller ones, but this is not the norm. As products mature and large organizations become dependent, there are significant risks associated with moving so quickly.
As to a public roadmap, this is important in less mature companies that are challenging existing competitors. They have little to lose by telegraphing their plans and much to gain.
Coda has crossed the decade mark, so if you’re on it and there are missing features that you cannot live without, you probably should be on a different product. And what would that competitor be? Name one that’s better. I’m always looking to be sure it doesn’t lead to this.
I just sent a mail to our CEO answering his question why Coda is better than Word. I threw in Excel, Notion and ClickUp into the mix for good measure.
To paraphrase Churchill on democracy - it’s not perfect, but it is a darn sight better than anything else we have tried.
While the team figures out the larger page-level sharing challenge, I would actually settle for improvements to cross-docs, with two specific requests:
- Canvas column being supported across cross-doc.
- Comments traveling with the cross doc (I know this one might be really hard, but gotta try asking
)
Thank you ![]()

Sharing some cases of why we are moving away from Coda. Not to troll but to share experience for those who wonder where Coda fits and where it doesn’t.
Just yesterday my colleagues decide that despite the seemingly good Coda setup they prefer Google Sheets for data collection because Coda doesn’t work well on mobile.
Fibery, ClickUp, Notion are all better in access rights so 90% of recently needed wikis we create there.
Miro and Canva are better options for collecting and visualizing knowledge and work better for R&D hub than Coda.
Google Docs allow digital signature, and that’s the main reason to use it instead of Coda for documents.
GSuite replaced Coda because of data limits which blocked our work.
Real-life cases where Coda just falls short. And we are getting back to prior Coda era. Because, first we need the users to be able to fill in data easy/conveniently/safe, only then data freaks and management have what to work with.
*All these are cases where employees were already trained and used Coda and are moving away.
I can agree that maybe the Roadmap is not a must, but having a community that almost daily ask for updates, there should be already a solution or a better way to communicate this information to the users. I don’t think having more than X thousand users means that the Company does not improve their community and communication of the Ideas with their users. And in the background everything happening with Grammarly and Superhuman gets all the hype, and now the company has MORE priorities and issues than just Coda as one.
About a different product; Yeah, I don’t use Coda as much as I did because I did find something better for me. Fibery.io, and trust me, once you get a PREMIUM customer support, your whole experience changes.
The power of Fibery is beyond Coda, Notion and even ClickUp.
I am not here throwing hate or anything, I enjoyed Coda, but being honest, it feels stuck since long time ago. I read somewhere that this would change from the new Community Manager a couple of days ago, that could be really helpful.
