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 and switch to the Editor tab. The Preview tab renders the current data as a PDF so you can check your changes as you go.

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.

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.
