    </Tip>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Resumes Dashboard">
    After logging in, navigate to your Dashboard where all of your resumes live.

  In the Resumes Dashboard, click on the <Badge>Create a new resume</Badge> card to open the creation form.

      alt="Create a new resume dialog with name, slug, and tags fields"
    />
  </Frame>
</Step>

  <Step title="Name your resume">
    Fill in the resume name. This can be a generic name (e.g., “General Resume”) or something tied to the position you’re applying for.

    <Tip>
      If you can’t think of a name yet, click the magic wand button to generate a random name for you.
    </Tip>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review (or edit) the slug">
    The <Badge>Slug</Badge> field is auto-filled based on the name, but you can change it to anything you like.

    <Warning>
      If you choose to publicly share your resume, it will be accessible at `https://rxresu.me/{username}/{slug}`.
    </Warning>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add tags (optional)">
    Add any <Badge>Tags</Badge> you want. Think of tags like folders or labels to help organize many resumes.

    <Info>
      You can filter resumes by tags later from the Dashboard. The tag filter appears after you have at least one tag.
    </Info>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a blank or sample resume">
    Click **Create** to start with an empty resume, or open the split-button menu and choose **Create a Sample Resume** to start with sample content.

    <Tip>
      A sample resume is useful when you want to explore templates, layout controls, and exports before entering your own
      information.
    </Tip>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the resume in the builder">
    Once created, a new card for your resume will appear on the Dashboard. Click it to open the resume builder and start editing.
