Dear Codans,
This has been asked before, but I feel it is more necessary than ever before to create this topic once more. Coda has been around for a couple of years now and for many people it has become a very important tool to run a lot of their daily business (or private lives). Coda is promoted as a collaboration tool and I agree it is - and I am using it that way, just like so many other people.
But it is kind of scary to see how easy it is to corrupt your data. Through version control a lot can be recovered…if you happen to know you have a problem, which might be weeks or months later, or never.
I am asking you, no begging you, to add a control to page locking. Please add the control ‘delete rows’, which should prevent these two things: selecting one or more rows and deleting them by hitting the keyboard delete or right clicking on a row and select ‘delete row everywhere’. Deleting a row with a button that is programmed to do so is fine (and necessary), but accidental deletes or deletes by unauthorized users can be catastrophic. We can make buttons available or active for some users and not for other users or build separate views with and without the ‘delete’ buttons, but the current situation makes it way to easy to delete rows.
Speaking of this matter: it would not hurt my feelings if the option to delete a doc from inside a doc would not be available at all, but that is a for a different post.
Please make it safe to use Coda to run our business!
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Greetings, Joost
