Coda has made a huge announcement on 24th Feb 2022. They have launched Coda 3.0, the third version of their collaborative all-in-one doc maker, which aims to make the platform fundamentally more efficient and accessible for people. While the last update, Coda 2.0, launched in late 2019 had some simple UI changes, this one is fairly advanced.

It is a column with extended abilities like adding Coda building blocks in a cell including text, checklist, images, and bullets. This feature allows you to connect structured and unstructured information along with Coda’s new building blocks.
Here’s how you can access this feature. When you are on your Coda doc, type “/table”. Then click on the note and open it. You can now add all the Coda elements to the table. Check out this blog by Coda for an in-depth look at the features of Column Canvas.

The Coda Open Packs Platform would allow creators to build their own packs (custom Coda functionalities) like complex computations, building blocks, or some shortcuts that are required specifically for your company’s rituals.
Anyone with minimal coding knowledge of Java Script understanding can create these packs from the Studio (which is currently in Beta).
