Warnings for names you keep private. If a name from your list, or the story's Organization, is still anywhere a reader would see it, a variation tells you beside Save and again at Publish. You decide what to do about it. How it works
A note when Folios turn off. If your plan ends and you're over the Free limit, we email you so it's never a surprise.
Ask for a review. If a Folio is blocked at publish and you think that's a mistake, you can now ask us to take a look.
Improved
Stories show Draft or Finished. Save Story marks a story Finished, and Home only lists the ones you still have to finish.
Phone photos upload as they are. Large images from a modern phone now work without resizing them first. About files
Long stories get a clear answer. AI tells you plainly when a story is too long for it, and a note under the editor says how much it reads.
Deleting a file tells you what it affects. The dialog warns you when published Folios use that file.
Clearer wording about your Organization. It stays private unless you mark a variation Public-safe.
Dates you can trust. Last days, deadlines and renewal dates now read correctly wherever you are.
Policy updates. The Privacy Policy and Terms were updated on November 6, 2026, including how to send a copyright complaint.
Fixed
A tab left open can no longer save over newer words in a story. You're told the story changed somewhere else.
A file can no longer sit on Checking forever.
A stuck Evidence matrix draft now gives you your rows and Redraft back after a few minutes.
One missing file no longer stops your whole data export.
Further reading on a Folio. Put an op-ed, a paper, an article or a recorded talk below your stories, for the person you're sending it to. How it works
Written pieces you can reuse. Keep a written piece in Files and add it to any Folio.
Folios that keep up with you. A Folio now tells you when it's behind your current work and what changed since you published, so you can use Publish changes when you're ready.
Sign-in & security. Turn on two-step verification, see where you're signed in, and sign out of one device or everywhere. Your account settings
Getting started on Home. Your first steps in one place, and more to explore once they're done.
Defaults for new links. Choose how new Folio links start out in Settings → Sharing. Existing links are never changed.
Improved
One viewer for everything. Images, PDFs, video and audio all open in the same viewer.
Active work shows as Present. A story with no end date now reads that way.
Dates your way. Story dates are easier to read, and Preferences lets you choose your date and time format.
Clearer email settings. A card for each kind of email, and a separate marketing switch that stays off unless you turn it on.
Data & privacy says it plainly. We don't sell your stories, files or career information, and we don't train AI models on your content.
Plan & billing. It now tells you how to switch between monthly and yearly.
Privacy Policy update. The Privacy Policy now covers aggregated, anonymized statistics, effective November 5, 2026.
Fixed
Finishing onboarding or accepting updated terms no longer leaves you on a blank page.
Your own domain for your Folios. On Pro, share your Folios from an address you own, like folio.yourname.com. Settings → Custom domain shows the two records to add, checks them for you, and emails you when it's live. Links you've already sent keep working. How to set it up
Help where you need it. "Learn more" links on the screens that need explaining, and a fuller help center covering stories, files, Folios, sharing and your account.
A Help menu. Open your avatar for Help center, What's new, Send feedback and Contact support.
Send feedback from inside the app. Share an idea in a line. No extra account needed, and we'll email you when its status changes.
Improved
The paid plan is now called Pro. Same plan, same price, a clearer name.
One set of words everywhere. Stories and files, in the app, on the site and in our policies.
Times in your own time zone. Dates and times show where you are, not in UTC.
Your own visits don't count as opens. Looking at your own Folio no longer shows up as a reader opening it.
Replacing a file keeps its place. The new version stays where the old one was, including as a story's main image and in Folios you've already shared.
A fuller data export. Your export now includes what each story demonstrates.
A clear message at the daily AI limit. You're told plainly when you've reached it, instead of seeing a general error.
Fixed
The passcode's copy button now says Copy code.
Deleting your account now sends you a confirmation email.
Emails you can turn off now carry an unsubscribe link, in every version of the email.
