Editing Your Deck

Learn how to customize and edit your resume decks to make them perfect for each application.

Accessing the Deck Editor

To edit a deck:

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard
  2. Find the deck you want to edit in your list
  3. Click the Edit button on the deck card
  4. The deck editor will open with a sidebar and the template preview

The Editing Interface

The deck editor features a clean, organized layout:

  • Left Sidebar - All editing controls and options
  • Main Template Area - Live preview of your deck with editable fields
  • Responsive Design - See how your deck looks on different screen sizes

Editing Sidebar

The sidebar contains all the tools you need to customize your deck:

  • Switch Template - Change the template design for your deck
  • Edit Email - Configure email display and tracking settings
  • Edit Social Links - Add or update your social media profiles
  • Edit Slideshow - Enable or disable image slideshows (template-dependent)
  • Replace Resume - Upload a new resume PDF to update your deck content
  • Save Changes - Save your edits (button shows when changes are detected)

Editing Template Content

Most templates have editable text fields directly on the deck preview. To edit:

  1. Look for fields highlighted with a hover effect (indigo background, dashed border)
  2. Click on any editable field (name, headline, bio, experience, etc.)
  3. A text editor or input field will appear
  4. Make your changes and click outside the field or press Enter to save
  5. Watch for the Save Changes button to activate (indicates unsaved changes)

💡 Visual Indicators

Editable fields are highlighted when you hover over them with an indigo background and dashed border. A pencil icon appears to indicate the field is editable. This makes it easy to see which parts of your deck you can customize.

Common Editable Fields

  • Name - Your full name
  • Headline - Professional tagline or job title
  • Bio/About - Short biography or summary
  • Experience - Your work experience and accomplishments
  • Section Headings - Customize headings like "Featured Work", "Connect", etc.

Changing Templates

You can switch templates at any time without losing your content:

  1. Click Switch Template in the sidebar
  2. Browse the available templates (currently 8 professional designs)
  3. Click on a template to preview it with your current content
  4. Select the template you want to use
  5. Your content will automatically adapt to the new template's structure

Template changes take effect immediately in the preview. Remember to Save Changes to apply the new template to your live deck.

Managing Email Settings

Control how your email appears and functions:

  • Display Email - The email address shown on your deck
  • Use Relay Email - Toggle to use the tracking email address instead
  • Tracking Email - Automatically generated forwarding address that tracks opens

Click Edit Email in the sidebar to configure these settings. The tracking email allows you to know when recruiters open your resume.

Updating Your Resume

To replace the resume used in your deck:

  1. Click Replace Resume in the sidebar
  2. Select a new PDF file from your computer
  3. Wait for the upload and processing to complete
  4. Your deck content will be updated based on the new resume
  5. Review and make any necessary edits to ensure accuracy

⚠️ Important

Replacing your resume will re-extract content from the new PDF. You may need to review and adjust template fields to match your preferences. Any manual edits you made may need to be reapplied.

Saving Your Changes

The Save Changes button in the sidebar will:

  • Only appear when you have unsaved changes (indicated by indigo color and glow effect)
  • Be disabled (gray) when there are no changes to save
  • Save all your edits while keeping you on the editing page
  • Update your live deck once saved

Changes are saved to your account immediately. Your updated deck will be available at the same URL - no need to share a new link.

Tips for Effective Editing

  • Save frequently to avoid losing your work
  • Preview your deck on mobile devices to ensure it looks great on all screens
  • Keep your content concise and focused - most templates work best with shorter text
  • Test your tracking email by sending yourself a test message
  • Use the duplicate feature on your dashboard to create similar decks quickly
