title: "Undoing changes and version history"
|
|
description: "Undo and redo edits with keyboard shortcuts in the Reactive Resume builder, and restore an earlier snapshot from the version history menu."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Reactive Resume keeps two layers of change history for every resume:
|
|
|
|
- **Undo and redo** — a live timeline of the changes you've made in the current builder session.
|
|
- **Version history** — server-side snapshots taken at meaningful moments, kept even after you close the builder.
|
|
|
|
Use undo for a quick correction. Use version history to jump back to a template switch, an import, or an AI edit you made earlier.
|
|
|
|
## Undo and redo
|
|
|
|
Every change in the builder is undoable — typing, drag-and-drop reordering, template and layout switches, and edits applied by the AI assistant.
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Open your resume in the builder">
|
|
Undo history is scoped to the resume you have open.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Undo or redo">
|
|
Use either the toolbar buttons on the floating dock or a keyboard shortcut:
|
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Action |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `Cmd/Ctrl+Z` | Undo the last change |
|
|
| `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z` | Redo the last undone change |
|
|
|
|
Rapid typing collapses into a single step, so undo feels natural.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
When your cursor is inside a text field, `Cmd/Ctrl+Z` falls back to your browser's native input undo, so you can undo
|
|
just the characters you typed. Click outside the field, or use the dock buttons, to undo builder-wide changes such as
|
|
a template switch.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
Undo history lives in your browser for the current session. Reloading the builder clears it — use version history for longer-range recovery.
|
|
|
|
## Version history
|
|
|
|
Reactive Resume automatically snapshots your resume at key moments:
|
|
|
|
- when you import a resume;
|
|
- when you switch templates;
|
|
- when the AI assistant applies edits;
|
|
- on periodic saves during editing.
|
|
|
|
Snapshots are stored on the server, per resume, and are kept across sessions.
|
|
|
|
### Open version history
|
|
|
|
Click the **clock** icon in the builder header, next to the resume name, to open the version history menu.
|
|
|
|
The menu lists recent snapshots newest first, each with a label describing what triggered it and a relative timestamp such as *2 hours ago*.
|
|
|
|
### Restore a version
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Open the version history menu">
|
|
Click the clock icon in the builder header.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Pick a snapshot">
|
|
Select the entry you want to restore. Reactive Resume asks you to confirm before replacing the current data.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Confirm the restore">
|
|
The resume is updated to the snapshot's contents and reloads in the preview.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
Restoring is **non-destructive**: it writes the older snapshot back through the normal update path, so:
|
|
|
|
- your previous versions are still listed in the menu;
|
|
- the restore itself becomes a new snapshot;
|
|
- if you change your mind, you can restore the pre-restore version, or press `Cmd/Ctrl+Z` to undo the restore.
|
|
|
|
<Info>
|
|
Only the resume owner can list or restore versions. A locked resume cannot be edited or restored until you unlock it
|
|
from the dashboard.
