Is there some sort of ‘staging environment’ or similar, where we can essentially keep improving our internal CODA documents, without interrupting the live documents, and to then push such releases or updates? If not, I think this would be a mission critical feature in order to adopt coda at scale.

hi @Anthony_Hsiao , as far as I know, this is not available. More coda makers have asked for this in the past, certainly after updates that caused some trouble. I do very well understand your need and since this feature is not (yet) there, I stick to functions that are ‘official’ and second I keep …

i agree that my corporate clients would appreciate this. at present we use different workspaces for dev, test, pre-prod and production. the FIRST thing i always do in a new document is to add a BUTTON that does a CopyDoc() so we can easily create a new ‘version’ before making major changes. so we …

I think you’re factually correct, but please note that MS Office applications were also not real time collaborative features. If it was just me / my local file, I wouldn’t need it, but if we have departments running their daily business process on Coda - essentially applications - then it’s very har…

[image] Anthony_Hsiao: If it was just me / my local file, I wouldn’t need it Correct, but how many Microsoft Office users compensated for staging and deployment by making copies and naming them appropriately to overcome the lack of an underlying change management system? Almost every one of u…

@Max_OBrien I’m now experiencing the issue that this thread talks about. Unfortunately my business scenario is quite complex so the idea of keeping things simple is difficult. Live documents tend to contain data so how do you get around the fact that data then needs to be brought into whichever ver…

Never mind @Max_OBrien , I just read your advice on this topic in this thread: [image] How do you test your docs? indeed a good question. coda does not have any dev-ops abilities like version control, unit-tests, deployment processes and environments (dev, tes…
