Repairing a connected doc or account

To repair a broken connection without losing your data go to the troubleshooting page

Repair Accounts⁠

⁠

Step 1A - Start fresh by cleaning up your doc first.

To avoid getting in a connection mess we have to first remove all connected accounts.

In Coda navigate to

Account settings⁠

⁠

Scroll down to ACCOUNTS CONNECTED TO PACKS

Remove the accounts by clicking on the dropdown and pushing “Remove the account”

You can now continue back and go through

New User Accounts⁠

process again.

⁠

Step 1B - Copying this template & re-syncing an already connected account

These steps allow you to reconnect after already creating an account.

You can copy the doc by clicking the green button below.

Once the doc is copied a pop will appear asking you to choose an existing account to connect to.

⁠

Copy Doc

⁠

Click on the existing account and Coda will reconnect and automatically sync all your tables and buttons.

BUG: Sometimes the Coda doc will freeze when trying to click on a previously added account. Click a few times and wait. If it does not connect DELETE the doc and try again.

If it asks who can take actions we recommend “Only You” for beginners unless you wish your organisation to also access it.

You will now see your connected Pack and all the tables and buttons should start syncing.

Step 1C - Creating a fresh doc and syncing an already connected account

To add a previously set up connection to a fresh doc follow this guide:

Create a new blank Coda doc.

To install click the “Insert” button (top right) then “Packs”. In the search bar, search for our Pack and then click the pack to open the Pack popup.

Click “Add to doc” or “Sign in to add doc”

Click on the existing account and Coda will reconnect and automatically sync all your tables and buttons.

BUG: Sometimes the Coda doc will freeze when trying to click on a previously added account. Click a few times and wait. If it does not connect DELETE the doc and try again.

If it asks who can take actions we recommend “Only You” for beginners unless you wish your organisation to also access it.

You will now see your connected Pack tables and buttons.

Drag a table over and click “Choose what to Sync”

⁠

Click the “Connect an account” button again and then “Start Sync” button once connected.

Your table should now be syncing. Now drag another table over and it should start syncing automatically.
