Folios: publish anything you build in Obvious

A Folio turns any Obvious document into a shareable, readable page. Write the analysis and publish it from the same place.

Folios are live in Obvious. A Folio turns any document in your workspace into a published, shareable page — no export, no copy-paste, no rebuilding in another tool.

The typical flow for sharing analysis has too many steps: write the thing in one place, export or copy it somewhere else, format it for the new context, send a link. Every handoff is a place where things go wrong — formatting breaks, context gets lost, the version gets stale.

With Folios, the document is the published page. You write in Obvious, hit publish, and share a link. The Folio updates live when the document updates. You can password-protect it, set an expiry, or make it fully public.

Folios support everything in Obvious documents: rich text, embedded workbook views, agent-generated content, and media. They render cleanly on any device.

Folios are available on all Obvious plans. Look for the Publish button in the document toolbar.
