Your top-requested feature is ready to unwrap. Introducing Coda forms: An exciting new building block to make collaborating in Coda more familiar and interactive for your teammates, customers, and beyond. Here’s what you need to know:
Collaborate with confidence. At last! A way for collaborators to add their inputs with the confidence of a ‘submit’ button. Type /form to start, or make a form for an existing table by clicking Options.
Design for the data you want. Customize forms with multi-column layouts, required fields, optional descriptions, and more.
Publish to a unique URL. Don’t want recipients to see results? Publish your form to safely outside your doc.

It’s exactly what you need to capture addresses for your holiday card or bring consistency to your bug filing process. And because it’s Coda, you can combine forms with the other building blocks in your doc—like buttons, automations, and charts—to design your ideal data-gathering process.

For , we’ve put together a guide for leading meetings your team actually wants to attend and eliminating the ones that no longer serve you.

🔁 Simpler, more readable formulas. For all of the advanced formula writers out there, we’ve added a so that you can reuse logic within a formula and create nested loops.
