Sync pages can't be used in an embed?

1

Hey all, I have a master doc that has client portals inside. These client portals are then synced to their own docs.

I’m trying to embed these on a webpage, but sync pages have a “coda.io refused to connect” error. Regular pages in that doc appear just fine. Is this a known limitation? I don’t see info about sync pages on embeds in the docs.

I think this is the same limitation people hit with older sync-page sharing issues: the synced page still depends on access/context from the source doc, so it can look fine for you inside Coda but fail when you try to embed it publicly.

What I’d test first:

  1. Try embedding the original source page, not the synced copy. If that works, the problem is the sync-page layer, not your website.
  2. If the client-facing page needs to stay isolated, move it into a separate doc that can be shared or published directly, or mirror the content into a normal page instead of a sync page.
  3. Double-check whether the viewers of the embed also have access to the source doc. From older community threads, sync pages usually don’t fully abstract that away.

So my read is: this looks more like a current sync-page sharing limitation than a one-off embed bug.
