  • Figure Studio — data in, chart out
  • Lay figures out the way you want
  • One toolbar for every artifact
  • Export

This release rounds out figures in the editor — from making a chart out of your data to laying it out and exporting it — and unifies the controls for every visual artifact.

Figure Studio — data in, chart out

Paste a table, CSV, or a few rows of numbers and Folio turns them into a clean, editable chart. Each figure is backed by a small chart spec, so you can reopen and re-edit it anytime — nothing is baked into a flat image.

  • Ten chart types — bar, horizontal bar, grouped bar, stacked bar, histogram, line, area, scatter, pie, and donut. Horizontal bars read better when category labels are long; histograms bin your raw numbers for you.
  • Messy data is fine — mixed delimiters, stray units and symbols (%, $, n=), and thousands separators are handled for you. Folio only ever plots the numbers you provide — it won't invent data.
  • Make it yours — choose from ten palettes and toggle gridlines, the legend, and on-bar data labels. Axis labels stay legible at every size.

Lay figures out the way you want

  • Side by side — pair a figure with the one next to it to place two on the same row, with a shared or per-figure caption. Changed your mind? Split apart turns a pair back into individual figures.
  • Save a chart to Artifacts — keep any generated chart as a reusable image in the Artifacts panel with one click.

One toolbar for every artifact

Figures, images, tables, and figure groups now share a single, compact toolbar. Hover an artifact for quick alignment, then open Edit for everything else in a tidy panel that stays on-screen no matter where the artifact sits on the page.

  • Consistent controls — captions, sizing, and positioning work the same way across figures and tables (the same XS/S/M/L caption scale everywhere).
  • Group controls — reorder the figures in a group, rename or remove any one of them, and ungroup, all from one place.

Export

Figures and figure groups now render in PDF and DOCX exports alongside your tables, so a document full of charts comes out complete.

Figure Studio is available on every plan, with higher limits on Fellow and Chair; Chair can also remove the Folio mark from generated charts. Open any document and type / to find Figure Studio.
