Summary
Pages are the building blocks of every Coda doc, holding your text, tables, and embedded content. Knowing how to add and organize pages and subpages keeps sprawling docs structured as your projects grow.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the page list
Look at the left side of your Coda doc for the page list panel. If you don't see it, click the >> icon near the top-left corner to expand it. This panel shows every page and subpage in your doc and is where all page management happens.
Step 2
Add a page to the bottom of the list
Click the + New Page link at the bottom-left corner of the page list. Coda instantly creates a blank page and opens it so you can start typing a title and adding content right away.
Step 3
Add a page at a specific location
Right-click on an existing page where you want the new page to appear nearby. Select Add Page from the context menu, then choose New Page to insert it at the same level, directly above or below the page you clicked.
Step 4
Add a subpage
To nest a page underneath another one, right-click the parent page and select Add Subpage instead of Add Page. Subpages appear indented beneath their parent in the page list, which is useful for grouping related content like project phases or department sections.
Step 5
Name and organize your page
Click the page title at the top of the new page and type a clear, descriptive name. Drag pages up or down within the page list to reorder them, or drag a page onto another to convert it into a subpage.
Step 6
Add content to your new page
Click anywhere in the blank canvas to start typing text, insert a table, or embed other content. If you're building a data-driven page, you can learn how to add columns to a Coda table to structure information right on the new page.
Step 7
Check permissions before sharing
Confirm you have Doc Maker access, since only Doc Makers can create or edit pages and subpages. If you're collaborating with a team, share the doc with the right permission level so editors can add their own pages without accidentally restricting others.
Why this matters
You're building out a project doc and need a dedicated space for meeting notes, a task tracker, or a client-facing report without cluttering your main page. Adding pages lets you separate content logically while keeping everything in one shared doc your team can navigate easily.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Coda plan to add pages?
No, adding pages and subpages is available on Coda's free plan. You just need Doc Maker permissions on the specific doc you're editing.
How many pages can I add to one Coda doc?
There's no fixed limit on the number of pages or subpages you can add, though very large docs with hundreds of pages may load more slowly.
Can I move a page to a different section after creating it?
Yes, drag any page up, down, or sideways in the page list to reorder it or nest it as a subpage under a different parent page.
Will collaborators see new pages immediately?
Yes, since Coda docs sync in real time, anyone with access to the doc sees new pages appear in their page list as soon as you create them.
