Templates

Built-in templates

Built-in résumé and cover-letter templates are available to everyone, including signed-out users. Choose File → New, select a template, review the preview, and choose Use this Template. The new document is an independent copy.

Built-in templates are maintained with the editor and cannot be overwritten by a user’s document. You can change the copied document’s structure, content, fonts, page size, and CSS.

Promote a cloud document to a custom template

Pro Custom-template operations require an active subscription and an owned saved cloud document.

1. Open the saved cloud résumé you want to reuse.
2. Return to the document library and choose More Actions → Mark as template for that document. You can also use File → Mark as template while editing it.
3. Confirm the row shows the Cloud · Template indicator.
4. Choose Create a resume and select it from the custom-template group.

Marking a document as a template changes its current template status; it does not create a second source document. Revision history remains content history and does not change the current template flag when an older revision is restored.

Use a custom template

Select the custom template from File → New and create a copy. The new document starts from the saved template version but is a normal résumé. Editing or saving the new résumé does not modify the source template, and later source-template changes do not rewrite existing copies.

In the document library, templates appear before ordinary cloud documents. Templates are ordered by when they were last used to create a copy; templates that have never been used follow recently used templates. Last used changes only after a copy is created successfully, not when the template is opened or edited.

Custom templates are also available to authorized AI-assistant template workflows. Only owned cloud templates appear there; built-in definitions are not silently promoted to the account.

Demote or delete a template

• More Actions → Unmark as template returns the source to a normal cloud résumé. You can also use the equivalent File-menu action while editing. Existing copies remain unchanged.
• Delete is a separate, explicit document action. It removes the source document and its eligible history after confirmation.

If Pro access becomes inactive, retained custom templates are not available for paid preview, use, or editing until access is restored. Built-in templates remain available.
