# Editing entries
> Add, reorder, duplicate, hide, move and delete the entries in your resume sections, and learn the fields each kind of entry has, including job roles.
An entry is one item inside a section: a single job, degree, skill or award. This guide shows how to add and change entries in **Write** mode, move them between sections and pages, and use the fields that only some entries have, such as skill levels and job roles.
## Before you start
Open a resume in **Write** mode and open the section you want to work in by selecting its title in the **Sections · print order** list. If the section isn't there yet, add it first: see [Managing sections](/guides/managing-sections#add-a-section).
## Open and edit an entry
A closed entry shows its title and a line of details, such as the company, location and dates. Select it to open its fields. Only one entry is open at a time, and the open entry is outlined on the page with an **Editing** tag. You can also select any block on the page to open the matching entry.
Everything you type saves as you go. There is no save button.
The Description field is a rich text editor with bold, lists, links and more. See [Formatting
text](/guides/formatting-text).
## Add an entry
At the bottom of an open section, select the add button named after the section, such as **Add experience** or **Add
skill**. You can also open the section's **⋯** menu and select **Add entry**.
The new entry opens at the end of the section with its first field ready for typing. It's marked **Draft** until its
main field has text, and a note tells you which field that is, for example "Appears on the page once it has a
company."
The main field for each kind of entry is listed in [Fields by section type](#fields-by-section-type). Drafts are kept, but they don't print until that field is filled.
## Reorder entries
Entries print in the order they're listed. To move one:
* Hover over the entry and **drag** it by the handle on its left edge.
* Or select the entry's title and press ⌥ Option + ↑ or ↓ (Alt + ↑ or ↓ on Windows and Linux).
For Experience and Education, **Sort by date** in the section's **⋯** menu orders all entries at once, newest first.
## The entry menu
Each entry has its own **⋯** menu on the right of its title.
### Hide an entry from the page
Select **Hide from page**. The entry gets a **Hidden** badge and stops printing, but keeps all its content. Select **Show on page** in the same menu to bring it back. This is useful for keeping an older job on file without showing it on every version of your resume.
### Duplicate an entry
Select **Duplicate**. An exact copy appears right below the original and opens, so you can change the details. Use it when two entries share most of their text.
### Move an entry to another section or page
Select **Move to…**, then a page. For each page you see:
* The sections on that page that hold the same kind of entry. An Experience entry can only move to another Experience-type section, including custom ones.
* **New section**, which creates a new custom section of the same type at the end of that page, named after the section the entry came from.
At the bottom, **New page** adds a page to the resume with a new section holding the entry.
When you move the last entry out of a custom section, that empty section is removed. If this leaves a page empty (other than the first page), the page is removed too.
Moving older jobs into a second section on page 2 is a tidy way to split a long work history. Rename the new section,
for example to "Earlier Experience", from its **⋯** menu.
### Delete an entry
Select **Delete** in the entry menu, or the trash icon that appears next to an open entry's title. The entry is removed right away, and the **Entry deleted** message has an **Undo** button if you change your mind.
## Fields by section type
The **main field** is the one an entry needs before it prints.
| Section type | Fields | Main field |
| - | - | - |
| Experience | Position, Company, Location, Dates, Link, Description, roles | Company |
| Education | School, Degree, Area of study, Grade, Location, Dates, Link, Description | School |
| Projects | Name, Dates, Link, Description | Name |
| Skills | Name, Proficiency, Keywords; in **More options**: Level, icon and Icon colour | Name |
| Languages | Language, Fluency; in **More options**: Level | Language |
| Interests | Name, Keywords; in **More options**: icon and Icon colour | Name |
| Awards | Title, Awarder, Date, Link, Description | Title |
| Certifications | Title, Issuer, Date, Link, Description | Title |
| Publications | Title, Publisher, Date, Link, Description | Title |
| Volunteer | Organization, Location, Dates, Link, Description | Organization |
| References | Name, Position, Phone, Link, Description | Name |
| Profiles | Network, Username, Link; in **More options**: icon and Icon colour | Network |
| Summary (custom sections only) | Text | None |
Awards, Certifications and Publications have a single **Date**; the others have a start and end. See [Entering dates](/guides/entering-dates).
### Links
Most entries have a **Link** field for a web address; you can type it with or without `https://`. The tag icon in the field adds a label, so the page shows text such as "Portfolio" instead of the full address. Tick **Show link in title** to turn the entry's title into the link instead of printing the link on its own line.
### Keywords
Skills and Interests take a list of keywords, such as the tools behind a skill. Type a keyword and press Enter or , to add it. Use the pencil on a keyword to edit it, or the × to remove it. To print keywords as a bulleted list instead of a line, use **Keyword layout** in the Skills section's **⋯** menu.
### Level, icon and colour
Select **More options** below a skill, language, interest or profile to see the less common fields.
* **Level** is a slider from 0 to 5 that prints as dots, bars or icons next to the skill or language. At 0 it reads **Hidden** and no level prints. The shape of the level marker is chosen in **Design** → **Advanced**.
* The **icon** button picks an icon to print before the entry, and **Icon colour** sets its colour. Leave the colour empty to use the template's. Entry icons print only while **Icons in contact line** is on in **Design** → **Page**.
## Show career progression with roles
If you held several positions at the same company, add them as roles under one Experience entry instead of repeating the company.
Open the entry for the company.
Select **Add role** at the bottom of the entry. Each role has its own **Position**, **Dates** and **Description**.
Add one role per position you held.
Use the up and down arrows on each role to change the order, usually the most recent first. The trash icon removes a
role.
The page prints the company and the entry's own details first, then each role with its dates:
Some things to know about roles:
* The entry's own **Description** remains editable and prints alongside the role descriptions.
* The entry's own **Dates** can cover the whole time at the company. Its **Position** prints above the roles unless it repeats a role's Position; repeated text is shown once.
* A role without a Position doesn't print.
## On a phone
On a phone, an open entry fills the screen. The back button at the top is named after the section and takes you back to the list, and the trash icon deletes the entry. Everything else works the same way.
