Why Coda Needs Page-Level Sharing — Now More Than Ever

oda is the most powerful all-in-one tool I’ve ever used. It has completely transformed the way I organize my life — from managing my business finances to planning family projects, from tracking real estate investments to documenting day-to-day operations on my farm.

Everything lives in Coda.
And that’s precisely the problem.

:cross_mark: The “All or Nothing” Sharing Limitation

As powerful as Coda is, one major limitation keeps holding me back:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: I can’t share just one page from a doc without giving access to the entire document.

Let me give you a real example.
I want to share a finance dashboard with my accountant. But that doc also contains:

  • Personal family information
  • Business strategy notes
  • Long-term planning and private journal pages

There’s no way I’m comfortable sharing all of that just to give access to one single page.

Sure, I could duplicate the page into a new doc…
But that breaks the structure, the formulas, and the automation that make Coda so powerful in the first place.

And when your system is built as a living ecosystem, having to break it apart just for sharing kills the magic.


:hammer_and_wrench: What Coda Needs

Here’s what would make a huge difference:

  • The ability to share individual pages without exposing the full doc
  • An option to include or exclude subpages from visibility
  • Granular permissions per page (read-only, editable, hidden in navigation, etc.)

:rocket: Why It Matters

Coda is becoming the operating system for people’s lives and businesses.
But if you can’t control what parts of your OS are visible to whom, it becomes almost unusable in collaborative contexts.

In short:

Coda’s strength is in building powerful, integrated systems. But without page-level sharing, we’re forced to break those systems apart just to work with others.

Please make this a priority. It’s no longer a “nice to have.”
It’s a critical feature for those of us who rely on Coda every day.

Hi @Jean-S_Racine ,

Welcome to the community!

I agree that being able to share a single page will open a world of new possibilities in Coda, but for the specific use-case you mention there are already decent tools that get the job done.

Just create a new doc only for your accountant, sync only the necessary data with Cross-docs and limit what they can do in each page with Locking.

It’s not perfect and you need to invest a bit of time to set it up, but I use this setup to share info with my accountant without any issues.

Let me know if this helps,

Pablo
