Invite co-authors, editors, translators, reviewers, and other contributors.
Everyone can work in their own draft without changing the published book until their work has been reviewed and approved.
See exactly what was added, removed, or changed.
Discuss edits, request reviews, resolve conflicts, and approve updates before they become part of the main book.
Once an approved change is applied, Codal creates a new edition and builds the files you need.
Publish to the web and generate EPUB, accessible PDF, print-ready files, metadata, release notes, and preservation packages from the same source.
Create linked editions in other languages while keeping them connected to the original work.
Codal shows translation progress, identifies content that has changed, and preserves credit across translations, forks, and adaptations.
Every published edition is frozen, signed, and given a permanent OPID.
Readers can see which edition they are viewing, verify downloaded files, review its history, and preserve a complete copy outside Codal.
