How do I switch between the new and classic version?

The dashboard and editor have a new interface. On desktop, the editor lists your sections on the left, and templates, style, AI tools, sharing and export all sit in one top bar. On a phone, a strip at the top switches sections, and AI Tools, Preview and Export PDF run along the bottom.

Both versions have the same features and edit the same resume. Switching doesn't change your resume, credits or membership, and you can switch back any time. For where each button lives in the new version, see Where is everything?.

Who can switch

The new version is rolling out in stages. Some accounts start on the new version, some start on the classic version and can try the new one, and accounts it hasn't reached yet only have the classic version with no switch at all. Not seeing a switch is normal: the features are the same and there's nothing you need to do.
If you see any of the options below, your account can switch. Your choice is saved to your account, so it follows you to other computers and phones.
The dashboard and editor switch together: switch once and both change.
When you're signed out: once the new version has reached new users, you can switch from ⋯ in the editor without signing in. The choice is saved on this device only, and once you sign in your account's setting applies.

From classic to new

Editor on desktop: a bar at the top of the editing area says Try the new editor; click Try it. If you closed that bar, or you switched back to classic before (the bar no longer appears), use ··· (More) → Try the new editor, or your avatar in the top-right corner → Try the new editor.
Editor on a phone: tap your avatar in the top-right corner → Try the new editor.
Dashboard: a bar at the top says the dashboard and editor have a new design; click Try it. If you closed it, use your avatar in the top-right corner → Try the new version, on desktop and phone.

After switching, a short guide shows where things moved; for older accounts its last step points out where to switch back. To see it again: ⋯ in the editor's top bar → Quick guide.

From new back to classic

Editor: Back to classic on the "new look" banner at the top, or ⋯ in the top bar → Back to classic, on desktop and phone. On desktop you can also use your avatar in the top-right corner → Back to classic.
Dashboard: Back to classic on the "new look" banner, or the avatar menu in the top-right corner → Back to classic on desktop; Me at the bottom → Back to classic on a phone.

You'll be asked why you're switching back (optional); click Switch back and you're done: the dashboard and editor switch together. Back in classic, a one-time tip points at the switch so you know where to find the new version later. Picking Can't find a button and naming it helps us put it somewhere easier to find.

The "new look" banner only shows for accounts created before the new version reached them. Close it with the ✕ and it won't appear again in the editor or on the dashboard on that device; the switch stays in ⋯ and the avatar menu / Me. See what changed on the editor banner replays the guide.

FAQ

Will switching change my resume?

No. Both versions edit the same resume; template, styling and content stay as they are, and so do your credits and membership.

Why does someone else have the new version and I don't?

It's opened to accounts in stages. Until it reaches yours, you only have the classic version and no switch.

The new version shows an error when I open it

The error page has Open the classic version. Click it to switch back and keep working; your resume isn't affected. If you're signed in it's saved to your account, otherwise to this device. You can also try Try again first.

Can I go back to the new version after switching back?

Yes. Editor on desktop: ··· or your avatar → Try the new editor. Editor on a phone: avatar → Try the new editor. Dashboard: Try it on the bar at the top, or avatar → Try the new version.

I can't find a button in the new version

Check Where is everything? — every feature lists its new location. If it's still missing, switch back to classic and pick Can't find a button to tell us which one.
