Best Practices for Launching your Pack

Building a great Doc for your Pack

Create a featured doc for your Pack that convinces makers to install the pack.

⁠

⁠

Featured Docs are published docs that can be featured by the Pack Maker and they will show up in the Pack listing page.

The Featured Doc is very important because it’s the easiest way to showcase how the Pack works, what’s the Pack use case and why it should be used.

In other words, it’s the best way to convince a maker to install your pack.

A great Featured Doc should...

Tell a compelling story on why someone should use that Pack and share a clear example of a use case.

Showcase how the Pack’s features work together with Coda’s building blocks (tables, buttons, canvas, formulas, automations, etc).

Be simple to use and easy to understand— any maker should be able to know what this Doc & Pack does and why it’s important.

Have a comprehensive title that clearly states what the doc is about.

Copy page (template) with:

Use cases/scenarios where the doc can be used. What pains does it solve?

Step-by-step instructions on how to set it up. Including at the top of each page. Videos are great to accompany the written step by step!

Story of why you built it (if solving a personal pain)

Copy doc button

Your doc must have:

A banner image.

Title and subtitle that clearly shows what the doc is about.

Introduction to the Pack and what it does.

Link or button the Pack listing page.

Instructions on how to install/authenticate the Pack (if applicable).

Examples of the Pack features (Tables, buttons, formulas).

Sample data from the synced account to the Pack.
