Create a LiveCV version for a specific role
Goal: prepare a tailored selection and appearance without publishing your data.
Before you start: complete and save your Experience Base. Have the target job description ready.
Your Experience Base is the complete career record. A LiveCV version is the shorter selection you want to send for one role or project. Creating one does not copy the whole document into public view: it stores which entries should be shown.
Create the version
- Open Dashboard and select Create LiveCV.
- Give the version a title that you will recognize later, such as
Frontend Engineer - Acme. - Select the summary, roles, experience, education, courses, skills, and interests that support this application.
- Choose the appearance with Template and Primary color.
- Click Create LiveCV.
The new entry appears under Your LiveCVs as a private draft. You can preview and edit it immediately, but there is no public URL until you publish it.
Review the selection
Open the preview and switch between the available LiveCV languages. Read it as a recruiter would: does the summary fit the role, are the strongest achievements near the top, and did you leave out anything that should stay private?
The preview uses the current selection from the Experience Base. A link that is already public is different: it keeps showing its last immutable snapshot until you publish the version again.
Edit or remove a version
Use the version's settings menu to Edit, Publish, export, or Delete it. The editor's main button depends on the version's state: Save LiveCV for a private version (nothing becomes public), Update LiveCV for a published one. Update LiveCV saves your changes and replaces the content under the existing public link; hover over it to see this hint. Deleting the version removes only that selection; your Experience Base stays intact. If the version is public and you want to keep it for later, choose Unpublish instead of deleting it.
Create one version per target direction instead of rewriting the same version for every application. Clear titles make the Dashboard library much easier to search.
