Orbit Folio

A wiki that tells you if you can trust the page

Spaces, a Markdown editor, drafts and versions, search, runbooks and postmortems. Every page has an owner and a review interval, and says whether it is verified, overdue for review or possibly outdated.

Orbit Folio

Trust is visible. Knowledge is linked to the work, the code and the monitors it describes.

Folio is the knowledge base inside Orbit projects: spaces with a page tree, a Markdown editor with slash commands, drafts and immutable versions, inline comments, and search with Russian and English word forms across pages, Orbit work and Forge repositories. Runbooks show live monitor state, postmortems are generated from Pulse incidents, release notes from Forge deployments and sprint reviews from Orbit sprints.

Why it is better

Why Folio pages stay trustworthy

Trust is visible

Owner, review interval and a Verified, Review overdue or Possibly outdated badge with the reason: a linked task closed, a Forge file changed, a monitor deleted.

Knowledge linked to work both ways

Live work item links, embedded work lists, a task from selected text and related pages inside the work item.

Documents from events

Postmortems from Pulse incidents, release notes from Forge deployments, sprint reviews from Orbit sprints and runbooks with live monitor state.

Search that finds

Russian and English word forms, filters, highlighting, one result list over pages, work and repositories, and a log of searches that found nothing.

Permissions that can be explained

One inheritance rule for restrictions, administrators who can always lift them, and "why does this person have access".

Clean editing and safe pasting

Markdown source, HTML from Word, Google Docs and the web cleaned on paste, and drafts with conflicts instead of overwrites.

Spaces, pages and editor

  • Spaces bound to projects

    A space per Orbit project with a home page. "Knowledge" sits in project navigation.

  • Page tree

    Nested pages, breadcrumbs, drag-and-drop and keyboard moves without cycles or lost order.

  • Safe rendering and permalinks

    Markdown rendered without executing HTML or scripts. Stable /folio/p/<id> permalinks.

  • Markdown editor

    Live preview, toolbar, shortcuts and slash commands for headings, tables, code, callouts, tasks and links.

  • Blocks

    Callouts, code with language, tables, check-lists you can toggle while reading, collapsible sections, status labels and dates.

  • Paste from Word, Google Docs and the web

    HTML becomes clean Markdown. Tables, lists, links and headings are kept, styles and scripts dropped.

  • Attachments and images

    Type and size limits, pasted screenshots and drag-and-drop. Access follows page permissions.

  • Presence

    See who has the page open and who is editing, with a warning before simultaneous edits.

  • Trash and restoreDeleting moves a subtree to the trash. Only space administrators delete permanently.

Versions and history

  • Drafts and conflict-free publishing

    Autosaved drafts stay separate from the published page. Concurrent edits show both versions, never a silent overwrite.

  • Immutable versions, compare and restore

    Every publication is a version with author and note. Compare line by line. Restoring creates a new version.

  • Activity log

    Creation, moves, publications, permission changes and deletions with actor and time.

Trust and freshness

Every page says whether you can rely on it, and why.

  • Owner, review interval and verification badge

    Owners and review intervals of 7 to 730 days. Readers see Verified, Review overdue or Possibly outdated with the date and verifier.

  • Automatic staleness signals

    A linked work item closed or changed, a mentioned Forge file changed after verification or a linked Pulse monitor deleted.

  • Review queue and space health

    "Waiting for you", the share of outdated pages, pages without an owner and pages nobody reads.

  • Reading analytics and feedback

    Views, unique readers, last read and helpful or not helpful.

Linked to Orbit work

  • Live work item links and [[page links]]

    A key in text becomes a live link with status and title. [[Page]] links have backlinks.

  • Embedded work lists

    A list of work items by filter, refreshed on open and respecting the reader’s permissions.

  • Create a work item from selected text

    The page keeps a link to the work item and the work item to the page.

  • Related pages in the work item

    A lazy "Related pages" block inside the Orbit work item.

  • Sprint review pages

    A review page generated from the sprint’s goal and completed and unfinished work.

Docs-as-code and operations

  • Code from Forge in pages

    A file or line range at a pinned commit, with "show latest" when it changed.

  • Folders synced from a repository

    Markdown folders sync into a space. Pages are marked managed by Forge and edits go through merge requests.

  • Release notes from a deployment

    A page from a Forge deployment with commits and linked Orbit work.

  • Runbooks with live monitor state

    A page shows the state of every Pulse monitor whose runbook points to it.

  • Postmortem from an incident

    A templated page with the incident timeline, linked back to the incident.

  • Follow-up actions as Orbit tasks

    Actions become work items tracked on the page until closed.

Permissions and discussion

  • Permissions from project roles

    Admin, member and viewer roles of the Orbit project. Deactivated people lose access at once.

  • Page restrictions with one inheritance rule

    View and edit restrictions inherited by the subtree. Space administrators can always lift them.

  • "Why does this person have access"

    The effective right and the rule that granted it.

  • Public read-only links

    Expiring (1 to 90 days) and revocable. Restricted pages are never published.

  • Comments and inline comments

    Threads, inline comments with resolve and reopen, mentions, reactions and an inbox.

Templates, import and export

  • Built-in templates

    Meeting notes, decision (ADR), requirements, how-to, runbook, postmortem, retrospective and release notes.

  • Space templates with variables

    Your own templates whose variables are filled when a page is created.

  • Labels, properties and reports

    Key-value properties, a table report over child pages and a decision log.

  • Export

    A page or space as a Markdown zip with attachments, or print to PDF.

  • Import from Markdown folders

    Obsidian, Outline and GitBook zips with hierarchy and links, after a dry run.

  • Import from Confluence

    HTML space exports with hierarchy, attachments and converted macros.

  • Whiteboards and Notion-style databasesPlanned

    Out of the first version.

  • Folio per organizationPlanned

    Isolation of Folio per company site.
