Ability to have nested folder hierarchy in workspace & granular folder permissions

Suggestion Box
1

Currently, we are able to create 1 level of folders on the workspace for organizing coda docs. It would be quite useful to be able to further organize docs with nested folders (ie. enabling nesting 2 or 3 levels deep).

Additionally, the user permissions for a given user are inherited by the workspace settings, and it would be really useful to be able to set permissions on the folder level (eg. only grant some people edit access, while everyone else gets view access)

It looks like we’re at almost the 1 year anniversary of this post, and I’d like to +1 it. Hehe.

This would be a huge improvement for us, 1 year in with Coda and we have a lot of documents and over 10 workspace folders. Since we have a lot of projects, our folder list will continue to grow. Nesting would be huge from an organization standpoint and also from a permissions aspect.

same. has this been added to the roadmap?

Coda, please make sub folders.

please please please! We are expanding our Coda usage, and it’s getting pretty gnarly to have all these shared folders at the top level :grimacing:

Wow. I’m new to Coda, just came here to make sure this feature really isn’t available. I’m a bit shocked to see people have been waiting for it for more than three years! Such a simple thing…

Why are we having to beg for such a simple, organizational element??? Even worse, why is this thread three years old and COMPLETELY IGNORED??? What’s the point in people telling you what’s needed if you don’t bother to listen??? Coda is NOT the only PKM on the block… as I’m sure you’re well aware of. The longer you ignore your user base the quicker they will flee to other products whose developers actually DO what’s requested.

I would also like to see nested folder hierarchies in Coda but please don’t limit the nesting levels if at all possible!

One of the main things I hated when using OneNote, before moving on, was the preordained limit to 3-levels of page nesting!

HI William,

Have you considered moving your hierarchy into a doc with pages, rather than a workspace with folders?

You can do this in two ways:

  • Move more information into a single doc. Coda is different to Word and Excel, it lends itself to MUCH larger documents.
  • or Simply, build the hierarchy inside a doc, with links to the various documents.

It’s just a ramble,

This thread discusses this in more details.

It makes for a much more flexible solution than hierarchies, which are quite limited.

Hi Piet, I’m not really at the point where I need bunches of folders, I’m good w/pages at this point.

I was just offering my dislike of a “limit to three”, etc., if they were to be implemented.

Edit: But, having additional folder would be nice…
