Developer Mode

Developer Mode is a workspace-level setting that lets you copy resource IDs directly from the Copera interface. Most Public API calls need IDs — a boardId, tableId, columnId, channelId, and so on — and Developer Mode surfaces contextual "Copy ID" actions throughout the app so you can grab them without inspecting network traffic or using browser dev tools.

What it's for​

Developer Mode streamlines integration development by giving you fast access to resource identifiers that are otherwise hidden in the standard interface. It is specifically for copying IDs — nothing else.

Enable Developer Mode​

Open Workspace Settings

Open the workspace menu in the top-left corner and go to Workspace Settings.

Go to Advanced

Navigate to Account → Advanced.

Turn on Developer Mode

Toggle Developer Mode on. Additional "Copy ID" actions appear across the interface.

The full path is Workspace Settings → Account → Advanced → Developer Mode.

Where you can copy IDs​

With Developer Mode active, right-click (or use the three-dot menu) on these resources to copy their IDs:

  • Channels — right-click the channel in the left sidebar.
  • Boards — right-click the board in the left sidebar.
  • Tables — right-click the table in the left sidebar, or use the three-dot menu inside a table.

Three-dot menu

  • Columns — right-click a column header.

Right-click on column

  • Drive files and folders — right-click a file or folder in the drive content table, a folder in the drive tree sidebar, or a breadcrumb item in the drive navigation.
  • Column options — for select, multiselect, and status columns, right-click an option inside the cell value dropdown to copy its option ID.
tip

Pair Developer Mode with Getting Started: copy a boardId here, paste it into your first request, and you have a working call in seconds.

Summary​

  • Developer Mode adds "Copy ID" actions across the Copera interface.
  • IDs are available for channels, boards, tables, columns, drive files and folders, and certain column options.
  • Enable it at Workspace Settings → Account → Advanced → Developer Mode.
  • It exists purely to speed up building integrations on the Public API.
