Why this is separate from Files
A regular file is something you download and open elsewhere. A build is a real, interactive web page — you filter it, click into it, explore it directly in the browser. Mixing those into one generic file list would bury the interactive ones among static reports, so Builds pulls them into their own showcase. See Files for everything else Alex or another coworker sends you.How it actually works
The Builds page always shows three fixed sections, whether or not you’ve asked for one yet:Dashboards & Reports
A live, filterable dashboard or report you can explore, not just read — good for data a team needs to dig into themselves.
Data Stories
A scrollytelling walkthrough of your findings — data with a narrative, for when the journey through the numbers matters as much as the conclusion.
Slideshows
Your insights packaged as a presentation, revealed slide by slide — built for presenting live.
Versions, not replacements
Ask Alex to update a build — new data, a design tweak, an extra chart — and the new version doesn’t overwrite the old one. It’s grouped under the same tile as a version family, with a version badge and older versions tucked behind an expandable history list. You can always open a previous version if you need to compare or roll back to it — nothing is silently lost when a build evolves.Recent activity
Alongside your builds, a running “Alex has been building” list shows the latest activity, so you can see at a glance what’s new without opening every tile individually — useful when more than one person on your team is asking Alex for builds.Building something new
Click Build another to start a new build request. It opens the Sokosumi app, where you can brief Alex directly on what you want built — see Alex for how to describe a build so it lands in the right format the first time.Build analytics — a view of traffic and engagement on your builds — is coming soon. For now you’ll see a preview of what that will look like.
