Use this interactive demo to learn how to apply text highlights inside a Coda document.

Quick summary

Highlighting text in Coda is done through the text format toolbar, which lets you apply a highlight color to any selected text in just a few clicks. This feature helps teams visually organize and emphasize key information inside Coda documents.


Steps

  1. Open your Coda document by going to Coda.io and navigating to the doc where you want to highlight text.
  2. Select the text you want to highlight inside the document.
  3. Click the 'A' text format button in the toolbar to open the formatting options.
  4. In the text color menu that appears, locate the second section which shows the highlight color options — the first section controls text color, the second controls highlights.
  5. Choose your preferred highlight color to successfully apply the text highlight in Coda.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to highlight text in Coda helps teams draw attention to critical content, action items, and key decisions directly inside their docs. Coda's built-in text formatting toolbar makes it easy to apply highlight colors without leaving the document, keeping collaboration seamless. This feature is especially valuable for teams using Coda as their primary knowledge management and project documentation tool. Visual highlighting improves document readability and ensures that important information is never overlooked during reviews or async collaboration.
