Can I change the resume search box and the resume styles using the Elementor Connector for Resumes plugin?
Yes – that’s the heart of this plugin. To toggle between the search box and the resumes while using the “Resumes” widget, use the “Show Filters” display toggle. Any changes made will affect both the search box AND the resumes on the front end.
Can I change the layout & design of the single resume page?
Yes – this is perfectly possible although you’ll need to create a custom resume page template under Templates > Theme Builder > Add New. This requires Elementor Pro to be installed & active.
Can I design the “Resume Preview” step after submitting a resume
Not yet – This is on the roadmap to be included in a future version.
