[Candidates](https://www.cv-transformer.com/pt-BR/docs/candidates) [Candidate editor](https://www.cv-transformer.com/pt-BR/docs/candidates/editor) # Candidate editor 2 min de leitura The candidate editor is where you turn a candidate's files into a finished proposal: by hand, or by asking the AI. Open it by clicking a candidate on the **Candidates** page. Your ATS can show the same editor inside the ATS; see the guide for [your ATS](https://www.cv-transformer.com/en/docs/integrations). ![The candidate editor: the AI's changes in the sidebar, and the filled-in layout next to it](https://ddcaybdkekwxbpgpotoa.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/common/pages/392fd3d3-24ae-4eb2-b601-292812309d7d/candidate-editor.jpg) ## [Layout](#layout) The editor has two tabs: - **Editor**: the layout's fields as a form, to fill in and correct by hand. - **Preview**: the proposal as it will look. The sidebar holds the AI prompt and its history, and the candidate's settings and attachments. ## [Choosing a layout](#choosing-a-layout) Choose the candidate's layout in the sidebar. A candidate without a layout shows **Select a layout**: pick one of your layouts, start **From scratch**, or **Pick from layout library**. Switching layouts keeps the candidate's attachments; ask the AI to fill in the new layout from them. ## [Attachments](#attachments) Attachments are the files CV-Transformer reads: a CV, but also a vacancy, a cover letter or notes. Under **New attachment**, choose: - **Upload file**, or drop a file on the editor. - **Upload from URL**: reads the text of a public web page, such as a portfolio. - **Manually enter text**: paste or type text, such as notes from an interview. - **Select from** your ATS: a file already stored with the candidate in your ATS. ![The options for a new attachment: upload a file, upload from a URL or enter text manually](https://ddcaybdkekwxbpgpotoa.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/common/pages/392fd3d3-24ae-4eb2-b601-292812309d7d/candidate-attachments.jpg) Open an attachment to see the text CV-Transformer read from it. For a scanned PDF without text, open its menu and choose **Extract text using OCR**. Images, such as a photo for the CV, can be cropped before they are used. ## [Filling in by hand](#filling-in-by-hand) In the **Editor** tab, every field of the layout is an input: text, dates (with **Present** for ongoing periods), lists and images. Fields show when they have a minimum or maximum length or number of items. Changes save automatically. **Clear values** empties every field, for a fresh start from the attachments. ## [Candidate settings](#candidate-settings) In the sidebar you also set: - **Contact**: the colleague responsible for the candidate. The proposal can show them as its author (see [Proposal reactions](https://www.cv-transformer.com/en/docs/candidates/proposal-reactions)). - **Language**: the language of the proposal, from the languages the layout has. - **Layout**: see above. ## [Versions](#versions) In the editor inside Salesforce, Bullhorn or Carerix, a candidate can have several versions, such as one proposal per vacancy. Click the candidate's name in the header and choose **New version** to create one, or pick a version to switch to it. Each version is a candidate of its own, linked to the same ATS record, and uses one credit. ## [Other actions](#other-actions) The menu next to the candidate's name in the header has **Duplicate candidate** and **Delete candidate**, and a link to edit the candidate's layout if you may edit layouts. **Share** opens the [sharing options](https://www.cv-transformer.com/en/docs/candidates/sharing).
