3. To the right on the page, click Edit Document.

4. On the Editing page, you can change the following: 

• Document name
• Document type
• Make the document public (allows employers to download the document)
• Replace the existing document
  • Note: if you take this step, any existing applications will still have the original document attached. To attach the new version, you'd need to withdraw your application, then resubmit.

Delete a Document

On the document overview page, click Delete Document to the right on the page. 

Once you click Delete, you will be prompted to confirm this deletion. Handshake does not store old versions of your documents, so if you edit or delete a document you think you might want to reference in the future, please keep a copy of that document in your own files.
