Organize your resumes

The library is the grid of every resume you have. Each card shows a small picture of the paper, the resume's name, when it was last edited and which template it uses. Choose a card to open it in the editor.

Search and sort#

Search resumes at the top of the library filters as you type. It looks at a resume's name, the name and headline in its header, and, for a version made for a job, the company and role. Searching for "acme" finds the resume written for Acme whatever it is called. It ignores capital letters and matches any part of those words. If nothing matches, the library says No matches.

Sort resumes orders what is shown by Last edited, which is the default, Date created or Name.

The search, the sort and the group you are looking at are kept in the address of the page, so a filtered view can be bookmarked and survives a reload.

Groups#

Groups are your own folders. In the sidebar, New group makes one, and the Groups list shows them, each opening the resumes in it. All resumes shows everything, and a resume in no group appears under Ungrouped.

A resume is in at most one group. Put it in one when you make it, or later with Move to in its card menu.

From the menu beside a group you can Rename it or Delete group. Deleting a group deletes nothing but the group: the resumes in it become ungrouped.

The card menu#

The More button appears at the corner of a card when you hover over it or move to it with the keyboard. Its menu has:

• Rename changes the resume's name.
• Duplicate makes a copy named after the original with copy added, in the same group. The copy is independent: editing one never changes the other.
• Create version for a job copies the resume for one company and role.
• Create cover letter makes a letter from the resume. It is not offered on a letter.
• Export as zip writes the resume with its images and fonts as one file.
• Move to files it in a group.
• Archive and Delete, described next.

Cover letters sit in the same library as resumes. Cover letters in the sidebar shows only the letters, and a letter's card says Cover letter.

Archive#

Archive takes a resume out of the library without deleting it. Archived resumes are listed under Archived in the sidebar, and Restore in a card's menu puts one back. Archive what you are not using now and may want again.

Delete#

Delete asks first. Deleting removes the resume from this browser and, if you are signed in, from your account and every device, and it cannot be recovered. If you only want it out of the way, archive it instead. If you might want it again, export it as a zip or back up first.
