Hello all,
In a published doc (example: https://coda.io/@eva-dimitrova/blogmark), new users can choose their level of privacy - show or hide their identity when using the doc. The question - how do you switch between the two?
I can’t find how to make myself anonymous if I already selected the option to appear as myself. And vice versa - can’t switch to using my identity once I decided to be anonymous.
Is that possible?
Cheers,
Eva
This feature was designed around the idea of allowing a user to be anonymous, and allowing them to change from anonymous to visible, but once they reveal themselves to the doc, there isn’t an option to go back.
Is there a particular reason or use-case for needing both?
Hey BenLee, for people who are not familiar with Coda and try things out for the first time, not being able to reverse a (wrong) choice, especially when it comes to your privacy, is not great.
I like the anonymous option, it gives people more freedom and flexibility - why not keep it that way. Otherwise, maybe at least make it obvious that you can’t switch back to being anonymous.
I’ll pass along the feedback!
How can a user switch from the anonymous email to the real email then? The only way to trigger the option to switch for a user is if the owner of the Doc grants that user edit permisions.
The scenario is he next. I have a Doc with View only for anyone with the link. The Doc is published in Play mode. Some users are anonymous, and for them to be able to switch to the real user is by me (as the owner of the Doc) to grant those anonymous users edit permisions in Share section. After they choose to use the Doc as the real user, now I can remove the edit permision, and they will still be showing the real email.
Is there an easy way to ‘fix’ it when a user has chosen to use an anonymous account?
Thanks
