Copy text but not copy doc

Is it possible somehow to allow users to copy text of a doc without allowing them to copy the whole doc?

I am sure there is a solution as it is a very simple and I believe natural feature to have, but I cannot find the way how to do it.

I read a topic about this saying that I should publish the doc in “Play mode” but that doesn’t work anymore neither.

Thanks in advance if you can share the solution!

It would have to be done via the API. I would recommend adding this prompt to Claude or ChatGPT:

Search for relevant Coda API and Coda Pack documentation.

Write the code for a Coda Pack that allows the user to, in a single button click, copy all of the text in their doc, formatted in CSV.

The pack should use the Coda API to fetch text from all Pages and Table Columns/Rows.

The pack should use Coda-managed authentication to let the user create a new API key.

Hi, sorry I’m a bit late to the party and I don’t have much time to elaborate but you should look at the “Copy to clipboard” button which is pretty useful.
