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.

​
Search your resumes

Once you have more than a few resumes, a Search field appears above the list. Type any part of a resume name to filter the dashboard in place. You can also open the command palette from anywhere in the app with Cmd/Ctrl+K, or by clicking Search in the dashboard sidebar. From there you can jump to a resume, application, or agent thread by name, or run quick actions like New Application and New Thread. Select Resumes, Applications, or Threads to filter results to a single entity type.

​
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 optionWhen to use it
Last UpdatedFind the resume you worked on most recently.
CreatedReview resumes by when they were first created.
NameKeep 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.
You can add or change tags when creating, updating, or duplicating a resume.

​
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.
After you create or import a resume, Reactive Resume opens it directly in the builder instead of returning you to the dashboard.

​
Update name, slug, and tags

Use Update when you want to change a resume’s metadata.
1

On the dashboard, open the menu for the resume you want to edit.
2

Choose Update

Select Update to open the resume details dialog.
3

Edit the fields

Change the Name, Slug, or Tags.
4

Save changes

Click Save Changes.
The slug is part of the public URL. If a resume is public, changing the slug changes the link people use to view it.

​
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.
Deleting a resume cannot be undone. If you might need the content later, export a JSON backup first. See Exporting your resume.
