# Update Resume

> Update a resume - only provided fields are modified

## Overview

The Update Resume endpoint lets you modify any aspect of a resume. Only fields you include in the request are updated - everything else stays unchanged.

**Common use cases:**

* **AI agent resume tailoring** - update skills or summary to match a specific job description.
* **Rename or reorganize** - change the resume name, switch templates, or reorder sections.
* **Set as default** - promote a resume to be the default for auto-prep applications.

<Note>
  **Scope required:** `resume:write` | **Rate limit:** 20 requests/min
