I’m hoping maybe I have just overlooked the ability to pause/freeze all calculations in a doc to allow me to step in and fix a problem. There are so many times that I have been brought to a halt because I had a bad formula in a column. Sometimes just from clicking away from the formula to double check the name of something I want to use in the formula or sometimes just experimenting to try to accomplish something I haven’t tried before. And I can’t even delete the formula because the whole doc becomes unresponsive.

Hi @Ms_Adams !
To stop
calculations, you can append ?nocalc=true
to the doc’s url
With the Doc’s url looking somewhat like this :
https://coda.io/d/DocTitle_dDocID?nocalc=true
or the short version of a Doc’s url :
https://coda.io/d/_dDocID?nocalc=true
It should also work with a Page url:
https://coda.io/d/DocTitle_dDocID/PageTitle_suPageID?nocalc=true
or the short version :
https://coda.io/d/_dDocID/_suPageID?nocalc=true
This should give you the opportunity to fix an issue you might have !
Add-on: Where it might not work as expected is when you append the ?nocalc=true
to the url of a specific line on the canvas :
So, something looking like:
https://coda.io/d/DocTitle_dDocID/PageTitle_suPageID#_luLineID
In that case, the ?nocalc=true
needs to be added between the _suPageID
and the #_luLineID
E.g.:
https://coda.io/d/DocTitle_dDocID/PageTitle_suPageID?nocalc=true#_luLineID
Hope this helps !
