If you previously applied for a job on Handshake, and would like to edit or delete a document (i.e. CV, cover letter) that is attached to an application, this article provides helpful context for managing your documents.
Edit an existing document associated with an application
- Edits to the fields within Handshake (i.e. name, description) will be reflected on your application and viewable to the employer.
- Editing the document outside of Handshake requires you to re-upload the new version.
- Important: the newly uploaded document will not be reflected in your previous application. To reflect the new document version, you'll need to withdraw your application, then re-apply.
-
- Tip: Double-check the job's expiration date has not passed - you'll only be able to re-apply if the job has not yet expired!

Delete an existing document associated with an application
- Deleting a document from your profile does not delete it from existing job applications.
- If you delete a document that is connected to a job application, this acts like a soft delete, which only prevents it from being attached to future applications.
- In order to fully remove the document from an application, you will need to withdraw the application completely, then resubmit the application with the new document.
- Tip: Double-check the job's expiration date has not passed - you'll only be able to re-apply if the job has not yet expired!
- Once a document is deleted from Handshake, you will not be able to view or recover a deleted document through your list of documents.
