Coda is where work comes together—docs, data, projects, and people. But when things get complex, written text and tables alone don’t always cut it. That’s where Zight comes in. By integrating Zight with Coda, your team can embed short videos, annotated screenshots, GIFs, and AI-powered summaries into your docs—making them easier to explain, understand, and act on.

In this guide, you’ll learn how Zight enhances your Coda docs with the clarity of visual communication.

Why Visual Communication is a Game-Changer in Coda

Coda’s flexibility is unmatched—but with that flexibility comes complexity. Zight helps you simplify and clarify by letting you:

• Record short videos explaining pages, workflows, or project updates

• Annotate screenshots to highlight design, feedback, or roadmap changes

• Drop in GIFs to demonstrate quick tasks, tooltips, or user actions

• Use AI Smart Actions to turn meetings, videos, or long instructions into quick summaries

Zight ensures your Coda docs don’t just inform—they communicate.
