I invite you to use it together with me, while it is better to agree first e.g. like this:
a. You state goals.
b. You make (maybe with my help) a data management plan that includes requirements for any software it is advisable to use, e.g. for telecommunication.
If we try Coda now (and export these data later), I’d say we use it for communication as I indicate below. One reason is that Coda searches documents, but doesn’t search tables and comments. (Why does it have those features then? I don’t like it when a service provider makes a user do work that the provider is supposed to do.)

I go to the tab “This doc” of the right-hand side panel.
I use the toggle to turn on notifications about comments.
