Editing your resume

Your resume lives as structured data — not a document. The editor gives you direct, field-level control over that data; the chat assistant edits the same data conversationally. Both write to the same place, so you can mix freely.

Opening the editor

Go to the Preview page. On a desktop screen the editor sits beside the live PDF preview so you can check changes as you go; on mobile, switch between the Editor and Preview tabs.

What you can edit

• Contact info — name, email, phone, location, website, and social profiles. Enter LinkedIn and GitHub as bare usernames (for example jane-doe), not full profile URLs.
• Experience — roles with company, position, dates, location, and bullet-point highlights.
• Education — institution, degree, area of study, and dates.
• Skills — grouped under labels (for example "Languages" or "Tooling"), each group holding one or more items. Every group needs at least one item, or PDF rendering will fail.
• Projects — name, dates, and highlight bullets.
• Honors & awards — a simple list of recognitions, one line each.
• Custom sections — your own sections beyond the standard set (publications, certifications, volunteering, whatever your resume needs). Each holds either plain bullets or labeled entries.

Dates follow the render format everywhere: YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD, and end dates may be present. The full list of formatting rules is in Previewing & exporting PDFs.

Resume versions

Your resume data is version-scoped: the version you have active is what the editor shows, what the chat assistant edits, and what PDF renders use. Use the version selector to switch between versions — for example, one version emphasizing engineering leadership and another emphasizing hands-on work.

Editor or chat?

• Use the editor for precise, mechanical changes — fixing a date, reordering skills, correcting a typo.
• Use the chat for substantive changes — rewriting bullets, condensing a section, adapting emphasis for a role.

Changes save to your account either way, and the next preview or export picks them up immediately.
