Experiencer documentation

Getting started

Create, import, edit, and save a first résumé without losing track of where it is stored.

Last reviewed: August 10, 2026

Create from a template

Open Experiencer and choose New Resume or File → New.
Select a built-in template and review its preview.
Choose Use this Template. Built-in templates are available without an account.
Select text in the résumé preview to edit it, or use the structure and CSS sidebars for larger layout changes.

The template is a starting point. Creating a résumé from it produces an independent document; later edits do not alter the built-in template.

Load an existing file

Choose File → Load to import an Experiencer JSON file. Experiencer validates the document before replacing the active editor content. A JSON export from this editor is the most reliable portable backup and can be loaded on another device.

Experiencer is not a general DOCX or PDF importer. If the source is a PDF or word-processing document, create a résumé from a template and transfer the content deliberately so you can check structure and reading order.

Make the first edits

Select a field in the résumé to edit its value.
Use the tree sidebar to select sections, rows, columns, entries, and page breaks.
Use the editing toolbar to add, move, duplicate, or remove supported nodes.
Use the CSS sidebar for document-authored style changes.
Choose a page size before doing final pagination work.

See Editing and layout for the structural model and its constraints.

Save deliberately

File → Save saves through the active document repository:

A local document is stored in this browser.
A signed-in Pro cloud document is saved to the account and advances its saved version.

File → Save As downloads an Experiencer JSON file. Use it for a portable backup even when the working document is also stored locally or in the cloud.

If the top navigation shows a save or sync status, wait for it to settle before closing the page. Unsaved editor changes are not part of cloud revision history, temporary review links, or MCP review context.
