Creating Your First Deck
Decks are created on a full page at /dashboard/decks/new. The flow has three steps: Upload resume, Job details, and Password.
How to Open the Create Deck Page
From the dashboard, click "+ New Deck" in the RoleDecks section. This opens /dashboard/decks/new.
The Three Steps
Step 1: Upload resume
Enter a Resume name (e.g. "My Resume") and upload a File (PDF or DOCX). Click "Upload & Continue" to proceed. Your resume is used to build the deck content.
Step 2: Job details
Enter Company and Position (e.g. company name and job title). These define the deck URL: handle.roledeck.io/t/company/position.
Step 3: Password
Set a password (and confirm). The password is required. Visitors will need it to view the deck. You can change it later from the dashboard or deck editor.
Passwords must be at least 4 characters. RoleDeck stores them using a strong one-way hash (PBKDF2 with SHA-512 and 100,000 iterations plus a random salt), so the plain password is never stored. For better security, use a longer, unique password and share it only with intended viewers. See Sharing Your Deck → Password protection for more details.
Click the create button to finish. You'll be redirected to your dashboard and the new deck will appear in the list.
After Creation
Once the deck is created:
- It appears in the RoleDecks table on your dashboard
- You get a unique URL to share
- You can edit it (theme, contact, password) from the deck editor
Tips
- Use a clear resume name so you can identify it later.
- Resume file must be PDF or DOCX.
- You can change the password or make the deck public later from the deck editor or dashboard.
