Every AceDraft Guide, Grouped by What You're Doing
Gowri Shanker·Sep 29, 2026
This page teaches you nothing. It is an index: forty-six guides, sorted by what you're trying to get done, so you can leave for the right one.
Two things before you pick. Every guide here was written by reading the code behind the screen rather than from memory, and most carry the date I read it. And AceDraft has not launched, so none of them can tell you how well anything works for anyone else. They describe what the product does when you press the button.
Key takeaways
- Forty-one guides cover one screen or one short flow. Five stitch several screens into a start-to-finish path.
- Never signed in? Only the first two groups apply to you.
- AceDraft for Teams is a separate product area with its own sign-in.
- Limitation: no search box here, and no filter. It is a list you read.
- Limitation: not every screen in AceDraft has a guide yet.
Where do I start if I've never used AceDraft?
These two. Neither needs an account, an email or a card.
- A resume builder without a subscription. The home page tour: two demo videos, and where the editor lives.
- The guest editor, free and with no signup. Editing is free, export is the paid step, drafts sit in browser storage.
How do I make a resume step by step once I have an account?
Six guides, roughly in the order you meet them.
- Your resume dashboard. Four counters, a search box, cards, and a dead button.
- The editor when you're signed in. The same screen, plus a workspace rail and an exports counter.
- Reopening a saved resume. Every section refills. Save then creates a new resume and spares the original.
- Tailoring a resume to a job description. Branch for a New Job copies one and fits it to a posting.
- The resume detail page. Score, keywords, and what Export PDF does to a Draft.
- Account settings and deleting your account. Name, bio, your data download, and what Delete writes.
Which guide explains my ATS score?
Three. If you want an ATS resume guide rather than one number explained, start at the FAQ.
- ATS score meaning. Running a scan, why the optional job title flips it, and four rows that score nothing.
- Scanning while signed in. Same scan. The daily cap lifts and the upsell goes.
- The ATS FAQ. Sixteen questions on ATS, templates, length, photos and fonts.
How do I get the PDF out?
PDF is the only format AceDraft exports.
- Saving your resume as a PDF. The free ATS download that needs no sign-up, beside the paid one.
- What exporting costs. The preview is free; the file needs a payment or a lifetime credit.
I run a college programme. How do I set up AceDraft for Teams?
Eleven guides, in the order you'd do them the first time.
- Creating an admin account. Verification, password reset and magic links.
- Onboarding your organisation and first batch. Names, tier cards, and where payment happens.
- The Teams dashboard. What an admin sees before and after setup, and what a moderator gets.
- The Batches page. Current and expired cards, and what expiry switches off.
- Adding students with a CSV. Seat limits, invite links, conflict rows, credit top-ups.
- The organisation wallet. The currency label, paused exports, the low-balance email.
- The wallet usage calculator. Users times paid exports times a rate. Free credits aren't subtracted.
- Reporting. Billing tiles, per-batch usage, CSV export, and what it misses.
- The user detail page. One student's status, credits used, and their resumes.
- Review requests and assigning a moderator. What Assign changes, and where it stops.
- Migration requests. What Approve and Reject write when a student asks to leave.
I'm a student or a moderator in a batch. What applies to me?
Six student screens, the shared chat, then two for moderators.
- My resumes, the student's list. Request review, and what expiry switches off.
- The editor on the enterprise route. The role check, an expiry guard that fails open, where Save goes.
- Opening a saved resume by URL. What the server checks, and why Save makes a second resume.
- The ATS scan on the enterprise route. What the mount hides and where the report goes.
- Exporting on the enterprise route. Free credit or organisation wallet, and every refusal message.
- Enterprise settings and migrating out. Who sees what, and what Request Migration does.
- Chat threads, roles and reply modes. Direct lines, batch groups, announcements, and the limits.
- The moderator's assigned queue. Each column, and what Mark answered changes.
- Reviewing a student's resume. Who gets in, the live ATS panel, and what Save writes.
How do the referral and creator programs work?
Eight guides. The referral side pays cash; the creator side pays export credits and borrows its payout screens.
- Refer and Earn, your link and the numbers. What the three totals count, and what the table exposes.
- Setting your payout details. Wise only, a JSON box, and masked account numbers.
- Payout history and disputes. Two totals that don't subtract, and the detail window.
- What the creator program pays. Three tiers, paid in free lifetime export credits.
- Applying to the creator program. Every field, the server's checks, both result screens.
- The creator dashboard. Before you apply, while you wait, once approved.
- Creator payout details. The referral form under a creator route, wording intact.
- Creator payout history. Why the back link says Refer and Earn.
Start here if you want the whole path
Five journeys. Each stitches the guides above into one route and names where it breaks.
- From the guest editor to a saved resume. Guest work carries over at sign-in, if you pressed Save.
- Building a job specific resume. Edit, branch, scan, export, and where the loop breaks.
- Setting up AceDraft for Teams. Seven stages, admin account to report, in order.
- A student's path through Teams. Six stages, CSV import to a reviewed resume.
- Earning with AceDraft. One link, two programs, one payout record.
What this doesn't do yet
| You might expect | What's actually here |
| A search box on this page | There isn't one. Use find-on-page, or the eight group headings. |
| Every screen to have a guide | It doesn't. I wrote these in batches by route, and the batches stopped first. |
| Each entry to show its date | Only the guide itself says that. An entry can go stale without looking stale. |
| A promise about interviews | Nothing here makes one. The product is pre-launch and I have no outcome data. |
Author's take
An index is the least interesting thing I've written here and probably the most useful. Writing forty-six one-line summaries made me read my own product the way a stranger would, and two groups came out worse than I expected: the creator pages reuse referral screens without saying so, and the Teams route has more places to get stuck than the consumer one.
I grouped these by hand. If you can't find something where I put it, that's a mistake in this page rather than in you.
Use this if you know roughly what you want to do and would rather not scroll a blog feed.
Skip this if you want to be persuaded. Every entry above assumes you already decided to try the product.
