I’m not sure if this is a bug, but it appears that when the page Content Alignment:
Is set to Standard, the canvas is not centering, which is my expected behavior:
Is there any reason for it to bias to the right?
ps - my css color inversion does not affect the content widths.
Can you try this with a code box and a sample sentence that wraps. This will show the full width of the canvas and how it’s centered. A table will start at the left side of the canvas width and can extend as far right as it needs to.
OK that helps to understand what is happening. Its starting on the left end of the canvas and then extending to the right unlimited. This has the weird effect, that if you are working mainly in the tables, to have the whole screen/ux lopsided and seemingly off. Especially since the nav is on the left. If possible I would have the table recenter itself to the middle of the canvas continually.
You can set the option to “Wide” and center the table the same way you would center text. It’ll show a little better on a wide screen. But those are the only two options at the moment.
OK wide is a good alternative … AND maybe your design team is open to improvements? Thanks!
Hm today a user was seeing their page switch between standard and wide, when the page was set to “auto”. Setting to “wide” fixed the issue but I’m wondering if there is some new bug introduced.
I had the same issue a long time ago. Suddenly, many of my pages had changed the layout by itself.
Is there any update on this? I’m trying to center a table, but I haven’t found a good solution.
It’s sticking to the left, and I can’t find an option to center it properly.
I do this to align, hope it helps!

the theory behind @Rickard_Abraham 's solution is that he’s creating columns with the drag and drop method.
just the regular forward slash will also work if youre having trouble dragging it properly to create columns,

Thanks!
The more I learn Coda, the more I find it both impressive and frustrating. It’s powerful yet puzzling at the same time, making me constantly question whether moving to Coda is the right decision.
I bring this up because the original post was from June 2020—four years later, and such a simple enhancement still requires a weird workaround to solve the problem.
Haha yeah I understand your frustration, it has its quirks, but I still think it’s the best choice out there
