Sections and entries

Your profile content is organised in three levels. A section is a part of your resume, such as Basic Detail, Work Experience or Education. An entry is one item in a section, such as one job. A field is one value in an entry, such as the job title.

Some sections hold a single entry, like your basic details. Others hold a list of entries that you add, reorder and delete.

Manage the sections on a profile

1. Open the dashboard and select Edit on the profile.
2. In the sidebar, under Tools, select Sections. The Manage Sections screen shows two lists: On your resume and Available.

From there:

• Add a section. Select Add beside it in Available. It moves to On your resume and appears in the sidebar under Content.
• Reorder sections. Drag a section by its handle. With a keyboard, focus the handle, press Space, then use the arrow keys.
• Hide a section. Turn its switch from Shown to Hidden. The content is kept but left off your public resume.
• Remove a section. Select the bin icon. The section goes back to Available and leaves your site’s menu.

Caution

Removing a section deletes what you wrote in it, and there is no confirmation step. To keep the content, switch the section to Hidden instead.

Required sections

A section marked Required, such as Basic Detail, is always shown. It has no bin icon and its switch cannot be turned off.

Premium sections

A section marked Premium in Available needs a plan with premium sections. Selecting Add without one opens the upgrade prompt. See show or hide content.

Rename a section

1. Open the section from the sidebar.
2. Select the pencil icon beside its title.
3. Type the new name. It must be 2 to 60 characters. Select the emoji button to add an emoji.
4. Press Enter or select the tick to save. Press Escape to cancel.

To go back to the original name, select the reset icon beside the title, or clear the name and save.

Work with entries

Open a section that holds a list from the sidebar.

• Add an entry. Select the Add button at the top of the section. The new entry opens at the top of the list. Fill it in and select Save before adding another.
• Edit an entry. Select it to open it, change its fields, then select Save. Discard drops your unsaved edits.
• Reorder entries. Drag an entry by its handle. A new entry can be moved once it is saved.
• Delete an entry. Select the bin icon in its header, then confirm with Delete. This cannot be undone.

When changes reach visitors

Adding, removing, renaming, reordering and editing are all saved as a draft. Visitors see them after you select Publish changes. See publish and go live.

If something goes wrong

• Publish is refused because of a section. A shown section needs at least one entry, no empty entries, and every required field filled in. Complete it, remove it or hide it.
• You removed a section by mistake. If you have published before, Discard changes returns your content to the last published version. It also drops every other unpublished edit.
