Hi Everyone, Lane here. Back in May, I shared a preview of where we’re headed. Today, I’m excited to follow up with some big updates!
In this video, I’ll walk through our UI refresh (now available!) and a glimpse of what’s next: from better ways to organize your work to more powerful tools for teams.
These updates are just the first steps toward making Coda the best place for people (and AI) to work side by side and move work forward.
We know change takes adjustment, and we’ll keep listening and learning from your feedback. This is just the start of a larger journey, and we want you with us every step of the way.
I’d love to hear your thoughts: what excites you most, what’s working well, and where we can keep improving. Thank you for being part of shaping the future of Coda.

New features and upgrades are awesome! But feeling heard is truly what matters for a community!
Lane, thank you for re-joining!

Improvement in my mind equals new features, not rearranging the same tools. I hope that what is coming required the UI changes. Moving tools around is like your mom rearranging your baseball card collection. Not appreciated.

@Lane-Shackleton, thanks for the update.
My clients and I did some beta testing of this changed UX and overall we found the changes to be very useful. Certainly a big improvement for obviously newbies.
And the new document search is a most welcome improvement.
Now we lookforward to the functional improvements that have been talked about.
Thanks to all the Coda team for all their work.
Respect,
Max

@Lane-Shackleton Thanks for taking the time to frame the UI changes for the community. It’s interesting to hear! The context behind a change is sometimes just as important as the change itself.
Furthermore, I hope to see more functionalities in the future for designing and arranging layouts on views and tables, conditional fields & buttons, etc.
Sheers!

Thanks for the update but I hope that some of the long standing feature requests posted and voted in suggestion box are implemented
Cheers
Thanks for the update guys, and overall it kinda looks nice, but the page locking is now extremely convoluted. I had to google for that! Turned out it is now hidden in the “Doc settings”, which is very non-trivial! I wanna lock the page, why do I have to go to the Doc settings?
Page options are now also invisible by default, unless you hover. I bet some people will have hard time finding those.
“Recents“ instead of quick navigation between favorite docs is also a degradation of the UX: now to switch the doc I have to go out to the “All docs“ screen, and only then jump to another doc - in previous version I had to do just 1 click for that.
So, overall, unfortunately, with this change UX got objectively worse: more clicking, less visibility.
