Key takeaways
- Coda (now Superhuman Docs) shows no storage total, so report the combined size of your exports in MB.
- Each doc owner runs Account settings > Advanced settings > Export My Data, which delivers .txt and .csv files for only the docs that person owns.
- Enterprise org admins can list and export every doc through the Admin API, including docs of people who left; HTML exports are capped at 125 MB per doc.
- You don't need to export anything to apply: have your size, years of history and member count ready.
01
What is Coda data, and why do AI labs and data vendors buy it?
The short answer
Coda data is the set of docs a company builds in Coda, a workspace that combines written pages with working tables, so a project brief often sits next to the tracker that ran the project. The product has been renamed Superhuman Docs, and its developer documentation calls it formerly Coda. AI labs (companies that build and train AI models) and data vendors (companies that anonymize business records and package them for those labs) buy a copy because the text explains the reasoning and the tables record who did what and when.
What a Coda workspace holds
Coda is an app where a team writes documents and builds small databases in the same place. A doc is one of these workspaces, made of pages. A page can hold paragraphs, a table with rows and columns, buttons and automations.
A table in a doc keeps row-level fields such as the owner of a task, its status and its due date. Pages around the table hold the plan, the meeting notes and the decisions that explain why the table looks the way it does.
Why a doc teaches an AI model something
An AI model learns by studying a very large number of examples and finding the patterns in them, and those examples are called training data. A Coda doc gives two kinds of example together. The written pages show how people reason about a project, and the table rows show what actually happened to each task.
Both halves matter for teaching a model to plan and track work. The full mechanism is in AI training data: why AI companies want your company's data.
How Coda fits into a dataset
Coda is usually one system among several in a company's dataset, next to email, chat and project records. Companies are paid $100K to $2M or more per dataset, according to micro1, the data vendor we typically refer companies to. The price covers the whole dataset, not each app on its own, and what your data is worth explains what moves it.
02
Where does Coda show how much data you have?
The short answer
Coda's settings have no storage figure, so the practical way to size your data is to export it and look at the files. Each doc owner can run Export My Data under Account settings, and an Enterprise organization admin can pull every doc through the Admin API. Report the combined size of those exports in megabytes (MB).
How to measure your total
Coda describes the owner export in its overview of exporting data. The steps below use it to get a size.
- Ask each doc owner to open Account settings and scroll down to Advanced settings.
- Have them expand the list and select Export My Data. Coda creates several .txt and .csv files for the docs that person owns.
- Download the files and note their total size in MB.
- On an Enterprise plan, an organization admin can instead list every doc in the organization with the List docs endpoint of the Admin API and export them with the Doc Export endpoints, as the Superhuman Docs Admin API reference describes.
Who can use each route
Export My Data covers only the docs owned by the signed-in person, so every owner has to run it for their own docs. The Admin API is limited to Enterprise organizations, and only organization admins can use it.
An API is a way for a script to ask software for information, so the Admin API route needs someone who can run a short program.
Why your total can fall short
An owner export misses every doc that belongs to someone else, including docs owned by people who have left the company. Add up the exports from all owners, or use the Admin API on Enterprise, to avoid undercounting. On Enterprise, an admin can also disable exporting altogether through the data export policy, so look at that setting before you start.
03
What should you know about your Coda data before you apply?
The short answer
Have three facts ready: the combined export size in megabytes, how many years your company has used Coda and how many members your workspace has. They go into the data manifest, the written summary of which apps hold your records, how many years each covers and roughly how much. You don't need to run an export, and applying through micro1, the data vendor we typically refer companies to, shares no data.
The size
Give the combined size of every owner's export in MB, or the total from the Admin API export if you are on Enterprise. A rough figure built from a few owners' exports is enough to start the conversation.
The years of history
Take the date your oldest doc was created or the date your subscription began, whichever is earlier.
The number of seats
Seats are the paid members of the workspace. Count the people on the workspace members list.
What you don't need to do first
You don't need to export anything to apply, and you don't need to clean or scrub the docs. The data vendor anonymizes the records before anyone else sees them, and nothing moves until a lawyer-reviewed license is signed. The application, the intro call and each later step are laid out in how to sell your company's data.
04
How do you export your full Coda history?
The short answer
Each doc owner runs Export My Data from Account settings, which delivers .txt and .csv files for the docs they own. On Enterprise, an organization admin exports every doc through the Admin API, which also covers docs owned by people who have left. Admins can switch exports off with the data export policy, so check it first.
Every owner: Export My Data
This is the easiest way to export all of a person's docs at once, and it needs no technical skill. It is open to every plan, but it never reaches docs owned by someone else.
- Open Account settings and scroll to Advanced settings.
- Select Export My Data and wait for Coda to build the files.
- Download the .txt and .csv files for the owned docs.
- Repeat for every person who owns docs in scope.
Keeping a doc's layout: PDF and single tables
Coda also offers exports for one doc or one table. From the three-dot menu beside a doc's name, choose Print & export > Export to PDF and select the entire doc. The PDF keeps the layout the way people saw it.
To take one table as a CSV file (a spreadsheet-ready text file), hover over the table's upper right corner, click Options, open the three-dot menu and choose Download as CSV. Make sure hidden columns and filters are cleared first, or the file will leave those rows and columns out.
Enterprise: the Admin API
An organization admin on Enterprise can export every doc, including docs whose owners have left, with the two steps below. The person running it needs to be comfortable with scripts.
- Call the List docs endpoint to get every doc in the organization.
- For each doc, send a Doc Export request, choosing PDF, plain text or HTML, then check the request's status until the file is ready. The download link the status call returns stays valid for five minutes, and each status call returns a new link.
What each route includes
The diagram compares the two routes. The owner export is limited by who owns each doc, and the Admin API is limited by plan.
Limits to plan around
An HTML export through the Admin API cannot exceed 125 MB per doc, and that cap does not apply to PDF or plain text. Coda also warns that exports of more than 50 pages can take longer, and that logging out and back in resets a stuck export queue.
Export My Data returns only .txt and .csv files, so it is a record of the text and tables rather than a copy of the doc's look. Use PDF export for any doc where layout matters.
What a Coda export leaves out
Owner exports leave out docs owned by other people, and the Admin API route does not exist outside Enterprise. Exports can also be switched off for the whole organization by the data export policy, which an Enterprise admin sets, as Coda's guide for enterprise admins explains. If the policy is on, ask the admin to allow exports before you begin.

05
What stays private when Coda data is licensed?
The short answer
The company chooses which docs are exported, so human resources, legal and executive docs can stay out of scope. The data vendor replaces names and other personal details with consistent stand-ins before an AI lab sees anything, and the company keeps ownership of its docs.
You choose what is in scope
Because exports run owner by owner or doc by doc, the company decides exactly what leaves Coda. Leaving out a personnel tracker or a legal matter is a matter of not exporting it. The data vendor also deletes records too sensitive to clean safely instead of anonymizing them.
Names are replaced before a lab sees them
Anonymization means replacing every detail that identifies a person or a client, such as a name or an email address, with a stand-in that is the same every time it appears. The brief still reads in order and the tracker still lines up with it, but nobody can tell who the people are. The diagram shows one doc before and after.
The method, including what is deleted outright and how you review samples, is in how company data is anonymized for AI training.
Ownership and payment
Licensing gives the buyer limited rights to a copy, while the company keeps ownership of the originals. The terms that matter, such as exclusivity, permitted use and deletion, are covered in data licensing. micro1 pays in full within 30 days of accepting the data, usually as a single payment.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Coda the same product as Superhuman Docs?
Yes, it is the same product under a new name. Superhuman's developer documentation lists Superhuman Docs as formerly Coda, so everything on this page applies to the docs you already have.
Does Coda show how much storage we use?
No, its settings do not show a storage total. Measure the size of an export instead, using Export My Data for each doc owner or the Admin API on Enterprise.
Can an admin export docs owned by other people?
Only on Enterprise. There, an organization admin can list and export docs across the whole organization through the Admin API, including docs left by people who have gone. Below Enterprise, each owner has to export their own.
Are there size limits on Coda exports?
Yes, for one format. HTML exports made through the Admin API stop at 125 MB for each doc, while PDF and plain-text exports are not held to that cap.
Can an admin stop people from exporting Coda docs?
Yes. On Enterprise, the data export policy controls whether employees can export docs, so check it before you plan an export.
Do we need to export Coda before we apply?
No. The application takes about two minutes and shares no data. You only need your approximate size in MB, your years of history and your number of members for the intro call. The export is needed later, when the records are transferred after you sign the license.
What is Coda data worth to AI labs and data vendors?
Coda docs are priced as part of a whole dataset rather than on their own. Companies are paid $100K to $2M or more per dataset, according to micro1, and the price depends on the years of history and how completely the records show the work. What your data is worth explains the factors.
Bottom line
Know what is in Coda, then see what it is worth
You don't need to export anything to apply. Apply in two minutes, describe your records on the intro call, and micro1, the data vendor we typically refer companies to, prices the whole dataset and sends an offer 1–2 days later.
