# Quick start

> Make your first resume in Rejarsume, change it, and export it as a PDF.

This takes about a minute and needs nothing installed and no account.



### Open the library

On the landing page, choose **Open the app**. You arrive at your library, which
is empty the first time and says **No resumes yet**.
### Make a resume

Choose **New resume**. Leave **Start from** on **Example resume** for now: it is
a finished resume you can write over, so you can see what each part of the
format does before you write any of it. Give it a name if you like, then choose
**Create resume**. A resume with no name is called Untitled resume.
### Change it

The editor opens on your resume. The Markdown is in the **Code** pane and the
page it produces is the **Paper**. Change a word in the Markdown and the paper
changes with it. On a screen narrower than 1200 pixels the panes are tabs
(**Code**, **Paper** and **Style**) instead of sitting side by side.

Resumes are written like this:

```resume title="resume.md"
# Ada Lovelace

::contact[ada@example.com]{icon=envelope}

## Summary

Mathematician and the author of the first published algorithm.
```

Each `##` heading starts a section, and the first line is your name. The
[shape of the file](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/format/overview.md) explains the rest.
### Check that it saved

You do not save by hand. The editor writes every change to your device and says
**Saved** when it has. There is no other copy, which
[Local first](https://shopsalone.com/en/docs/getting-started/local-first.md) explains.
### Export it

Choose **Export**. **PDF** prints the exported document, so choose “Save as
PDF” in the print window and leave the scale and margins as they are. Under
**File** you can instead download **HTML**, **Markdown**, **JSON Resume**,
**Plain text** or a **Bundle (.zip)**.
