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. Here’s more on the range of sharing options on Xtensio, from completely private to public.

Can I create free social media calendar?

Yes. You can try out Xtensio’s simple editor and any template, including the social media calendar 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 have 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 social media content calendar for?

The goal of this exercise is to create an ongoing weekly calendar to maximize your social media marketing efforts by consistently creating high-quality content. Content calendars are also used to plan when and which content will be shared, manage campaigns, and track deadlines.

What information should I include in the social media content calendar?

You should include any and all information that will make your social media marketing efforts successful. This includes adding the post title, content, image or video, link, time you’ll be posting, hashtags/keywords you’ll be using and specific goals for each post.

What is a living document?

The living social media content calendar allows you to instantly sync your entire team on your content creation and planning. The document evolves as your content creation does. You can add collaborators to work in real-time. And you can share the customizable link to keep internal and external colleagues up-to-date as the project progresses.

Can I add colleagues to edit the social content calendar?

Yes! You can invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate on your social content calendar and more. As a platform, Xtensio helps improve the way your team works.

How do I share my social media strategy?

Choose your file format. Present it as a full-screen digital slideshow, share it as a responsive web link or export it as a PDF (customize the PDF size) or PNG.

Do you have other tools for social media marketing?

We do! There are a number of different templates, examples and resources to guide you through organizing projects and syncing your team. Check out our Social Media Marketing toolbox and our Operations toolbox to find more tools and resources.

Xtensio is your team space for beautiful living documents. Create, manage and share business collateral, easily.
