A folio is a collection of InDesign articles that makes up a digital publication. The Folio Builder is a panel that is installed with the DPS tools in InDesign. This panel is used to create and manage folio files and can be accessed by choosing Window>Folio Builder (InDesign CS6) or Window>Extensions>Folio Builder (InDesign CS5 or CS5.5). The Folio Builder panel shows which folios you can access and includes three different views from which you can view your content: Folio, Article, and Layout View.

See Adobe’s Creating Folios page for additional information on creating and managing folios.
