Built around the rhythm of small teams
We used to begin every week by asking where the latest draft lived. Now the issue has a shape before the first edit.
The calendar is straightforward enough for contributors to keep current, and detailed enough for me to plan ahead.

A few practical details
Can contributors join without managing the workspace?
Yes. Invite writers to collaborate on the stories assigned to them. Workspace owners manage the publication and editorial settings.
Can we move from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Bring over your issue dates, story titles, owners, and status. Keep your current archive wherever it lives.
Does Folio Desk send the newsletter?
No. Folio Desk organizes the editorial work and tracks readiness; your team continues to publish through its existing email platform.
