Custom Sections¶
Custom sections let you add any content that doesn't fit the built-in sections.
Custom sections are created inline, directly on the CV — there's no separate Settings tab for them.
Adding a Custom Section¶
Two equivalent entry points:
- Between two sections — hover the gap just below any existing section. A dashed + Add custom section pill appears; click it to open the creation dialog. The new section is inserted directly below the section you hovered over.
- At the bottom of the CV — the same + Add custom section pill is always visible below the last section as a discoverability affordance. Clicking it adds a new section at the end.
In the dialog:
- Enter a section name
- Choose a layout type (see below)
- Save — the new section appears in your CV and is auto-saved to the active dataset
Managing a Custom Section¶
Each custom section has three icon buttons in its header:
- Delete (trash icon) — removes the section and all of its items after confirmation
- Rename (pencil icon) — opens a small dialog to change the section's title
- Visibility (eye icon) — toggles whether the section is shown on the live CV
The layout type is chosen once at creation and cannot be changed afterwards. If you need a different layout, create a new section and move the items over.
Layout Types¶
| Layout | Best For |
|---|---|
| 2-Column Grid | Paired items like languages & proficiency, tools & experience level |
| 3-Column Grid | Compact items like awards, publications, or short credentials |
| Vertical List | Sequential items with optional links, like volunteer work or memberships |
| Card Grid | Rich items with title, subtitle, description, and link — like portfolio pieces |
| Social Links | Platform-specific links with icons (LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, Dribbble, Behance, Website, Email, Phone, or Custom) |
| Bullet Points | Grouped bullet lists, similar to experience highlights — great for key achievements or competencies |
| Free Text | Plain text block with preserved line breaks — similar to the About section, useful for cover letters, personal statements, or any freeform content |
| Picture Grid | Image gallery with optional captions — great for portfolios, certificates, or visual work samples |
| Additional Experiences | Experience-style entries (job title, company, dates, highlights, logo) — extends your work history without mixing into the main Experience section |
Picture Grid¶
The Picture Grid layout displays images in a responsive grid with optional captions.
- Create a custom section and select Picture Grid as the layout type
- Choose the number of grid columns (1, 2, or 3 — default is 3)
- Click Add Picture to upload images (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, max 5MB)
- Optionally add a caption below each image
Images are centered and maintain their aspect ratio. In 3-column mode, images display as squares for a uniform look.
Additional Experiences¶
The Additional Experiences layout creates experience-style entries identical to the built-in Work Experience section. Each item includes:
- Job title and company/organization name
- Start and end dates (with optional "Present" for current roles)
- Location and country code
- Highlights (key achievements, one per line)
- Optional logo (same upload/reuse workflow as company logos)
Show on Career Timeline¶
When managing items in an Additional Experiences section, you can enable "Show items on Career Timeline". This merges the additional experience entries into the main timeline visualization — they appear alongside your regular work experiences with full support for branching, logos, and duration display.
Hide Title Option¶
For grid, list, card, and bullet layouts, each item has a "Hide title" checkbox. When enabled, the item displays without its title heading — useful when the content speaks for itself.
Managing Custom Section Items¶
Click Manage Items on any custom section to add, edit, reorder, or delete items within that section.
Note
There's no hard limit on custom sections. Create as many as you need.
