Frequently asked questions
What is Xtensio?
Xtensio is the quickest and easiest way for teams to create, share and manage all of their business documents together. Create pitches, sales sheets, reports, case studies, agendas and more. Add images, videos, tables, buttons and other interactive modules. Drag and drop, resize, change backgrounds, colors. Share a link. Present a digital slideshow. Export a PDF/PNG.
What's a folio?
A folio is a live webpage, a full-screen digital slideshow presentation and an exportable PDF/PNG document all-in-one. Folios are responsive, collaborative and completely customizable.
Start from an instructional template, editable example or a blank folio to build all your business documents and presentations with the ease of a web builder. Add team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. Changes instantly sync to the live version of the folio so both internal and external stakeholders are always up-to-date. Folios are the next generation of flexible documents and presentations.
How is Xtensio different from PPT, Illustrator or Word?
Unlike other presentation or document creators, Xtensio works like a web builder so you can easily drag and drop interactive content, customize the layout, and change colors, fonts, backgrounds to get professional-looking business content out the door quickly, without needing a designer.
You can collaborate with team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. And the flexibility to share folios as live web links, digital slideshow presentations or exportable PDF/PNGs means you don’t have to jump between tools when creating different deliverables. Check out this page to see how Xtensio outpaces the competition.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. All Xtensio plans include 128 bit SSL encryption and backups to ensure your data is secure. You can make shared folio links private on premium plans. Here’s more on the range of sharing options on Xtensio, from completely private to public.

Yes. You can try out Xtensio’s simple editor and any template, including the lean business model template without creating an account. To save your work, collaborate with your team and access other premium features and resources, you can upgrade to premium. Plans start at $8 per month.
What would I get by upgrading to a premium plan?
By upgrading to our premium plans, you’ll create a private, branded workspace with your own URL where you, your team members and guests can create and collaborate on multiple presentations and documents.
You’ll be able to lock branding across your deliverables with the team style guide, streamline the creation process with custom templates, unlock exports, add password protection and customize individual shared links, and view folio stats to stay updated on all of your projects. Here’s more about our premium plans.
What would I use the one-page business model template for?
The lean business model asks all the right questions to guide you through the process of uncovering your startup’s unique value proposition. This will help you assess whether your business has an advantage over your competitors.
Do you have any 1-page business model examples I can use?
Yes! We have a couple of example lean business plans above that you can use as a starting point for your own. If you find a style you like, use it for your inspiration.
How do I formulate my unique value proposition?
Your unique value proposition should quickly and clearly convey the value of your service or product, explain how your product or service is better than the competition and talk about the benefits and features that define your product or service.
Can I add colleagues to edit the template?
Yes! You can invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate on your canvas lean, ensuring your whole team is aligned. As a platform, Xtensio helps improve the way your team works. Here’s more on real-time collaboration.
