Managing resumes from the dashboard

The Resumes dashboard is where you manage every resume in your account. Use it to keep separate versions for different roles, clients, locations, or application stages.

Choose a view

The dashboard supports two views:

• Grid shows each resume as a card. This is useful when you want a visual overview.
• List shows resumes in rows. This is useful when you have many resumes and want a denser view.

Use the Grid and List tabs in the top-right of the dashboard to switch between them.

Sort resumes

Use the Sort by menu to change the order of your resumes.

Sort option	When to use it
Last Updated	Find the resume you worked on most recently.
Created	Review resumes by when they were first created.
Name	Keep resumes in alphabetical order.

Filter by tags

If you add tags to your resumes, the dashboard shows a Filter by menu. Select one or more tags to show only matching resumes.

Tags are useful for grouping resumes by:

• target role, such as frontend or product;
• application status, such as draft or sent;
• market, region, client, or company name.

<Tip> You can add or change tags when creating, updating, or duplicating a resume. </Tip>

Open a resume

Click a resume card or row to open it in the builder.

You can also open the resume menu and choose Open.

Update name, slug, and tags

Use Update when you want to change a resume's metadata.

<Steps> <Step title="Open the resume menu"> On the dashboard, open the menu for the resume you want to edit. </Step> <Step title="Choose Update"> Select **Update** to open the resume details dialog. </Step> <Step title="Edit the fields"> Change the **Name**, **Slug**, or **Tags**. </Step> <Step title="Save changes"> Click **Save Changes**. </Step> </Steps> <Warning> The slug is part of the public URL. If a resume is public, changing the slug changes the link people use to view it. </Warning>

Duplicate a resume

Use Duplicate when you want to create a new version without changing the original.

The duplicate dialog starts with the same tags, a copied name, and a copied slug. Edit these before saving if you want the new version to be easier to identify.

Good reasons to duplicate a resume:

• tailoring one resume for a specific job posting;
• keeping a short and long version;
• testing a new template or layout;
• creating a localized version.

Lock or unlock a resume

Use Lock to prevent accidental edits or deletion. A locked resume cannot be updated or deleted until you unlock it.

To edit a locked resume later, open the resume menu and choose Unlock.

Delete a resume

Use Delete only when you no longer need the resume.

<Warning> Deleting a resume cannot be undone. If you might need the content later, export a JSON backup first. See [Exporting your resume](/guides/exporting-your-resume). </Warning>
