Setting Up Coda Sessions Shortcut in Finder

If you're using Coda with Studiocode, the following few set-up steps only need to be done once after Coda is installed, but before beginning to use Coda. These steps are not mandatory, but much of the Studiocode documentation was designed with this set-up in mind, and will help make the Coda workflow more user-friendly.

1. After installing and registering Coda on the Mac, launch Coda.
2. Go to CODA > Command Centre

3. In the Command Centre: Single click on Server

4. In the Command Centre: Single click on OFF in order to turn the Status on.?

5. Go to File > New Form
