That’s great feedback, and the example is really helpful! I’ll take this back to the team for consideration.
Thanks for sharing - appreciate your feedback! We’d love to get your thoughts once we begin testing the updates in the community.
We definitely hear you - there are many docs that are meant for collaborators to only interact with, not to edit. As @joost_mineur mentioned, locking sounds like it would be great for your use case!
We’re also considering creating a more streamlined and dedicated experience for this category of docs that function more as apps, where the end-user experience is distinct from the doc building experience. In this world, the end-user experience could be very locked down without any access to any editing UI, while the doc building experience is set up to keep all necessary powerful tools like tables, automations, and packs at hand.
Curious how that idea resonates and whether it would feel valuable for how you’re using Coda.

Very much appreciate the openness to communicate!
These features will be all super helpful in using Coda, especially the dedicated database section, the quicker and faster calculation of huge docs (I feel like it improved already over the last weeks(?)) as well as the new locking abilities. Oh and FINALLY: international decimal seperators…
But one mayor thing I’m desperately waiting for is a better timeline view. More specifically “multiple items per row” or a sequential timeline. Theres a bunch of posts about this feature request in the community but no official statement wether it’s considered or even on Codas radar, to implement this function.
I’d love to take the opportunity to (hopefully) get some insides about this topic.
Here’s an example and an incomplete list of posts, mentioning this feature:
Great to see all the questions and interest in mobile!
We hear you on the need for performance & memory improvements loading large docs on mobile. That’s a key goal for the data layer work, to enable loading only the data you need.
We know there’s many needs on mobile beyond this, but we’re focusing first on making sure you and your team can reliably and efficiently open any doc or link on the go.
Side note on our release process: we have daily updates for most of the mobile app & desktop experience via Coda’s servers, so we don’t need to make App Store or Google Play updates very often.
@Piet_Strydom @Stefan_Stoyanov1 @Brock_Eckles — great feedback, we’ll take these into account in how we share roadmap updates.
Great to hear these features resonate!
Thanks for sharing how important sequential timelines are for you! We are are aware of many use cases that would benefit from this. While it’s not on the immediate roadmap, it’s an area we’ve explored and on our radar for the future.
Can you please make Coda-Links work in Mobile Edge? I don’t get why this after so many years is still not possible. It’s working on desktop, it’s Chromium based, and one of the most common browser. For Surveys I can’t use Coda because many customers have edge on mobile as their default browser and when they click on a Coda link it doesn’t work. This should be a very very simple thing to fix! Thanks!
@Shelley_Garg a “Coda App” mode that simplifies / streamlines permissions is a great idea!
