When you remove a resume or cover letter, it goes to Trash instead of disappearing. It stays there for 30 days, so you can bring it back if you change your mind.

Move a document to Trash

On Documents, open the document’s ⋯ menu and choose Move to Trash. In the editor, open the document name menu at the top left and choose Move to Trash; you return to Documents. Reactive Resume doesn’t ask you to confirm, because the move can be undone. A message appears at the bottom of the screen. Select Undo to put the document back straight away.

The message after moving a document to Trash

While a resume is in Trash, its public link stops working. Restoring it brings the resume back as it was.
Locked documents can’t be moved to Trash. Choose Unlock in the document’s menu first.

Open the Trash

Once Trash holds something, a Trash item with a count appears at the bottom of the sidebar. Select it to open the Trash page.

You can also open the command bar with ⌘ K (Ctrl K on Windows and Linux) and choose Trash, or go to https://rxresu.me/dashboard/trash. Self-hosters use their own address. The Trash page lists each document with its Type, linked Application, and how many days are left under Deleted in. When it’s empty, it says Trash is empty.

Confirming a permanent delete

A deleted document can’t be restored, and neither can its version history. If you might need it again, download a JSON copy first (see Exporting your resume).
