Wow, this is truly impressive! I would like to leave some feedback of my first experience. Re-ordering: I could not get this to work as intuitively as it seemed it should have been (likely user error). It would be nice to be able to shift entire paragraphs/columns/sections up/down one column/section at a time, and perhaps a 'delete' button to remove the entire section or a trash icon to drag it into on the side. (I realize that by removing content from a section you effectively remove that section, but only by publishing did I know this) After I was finished re-ordering, I was not sure what it wanted me to do. I think it just wanted me to continue on towards viewing the resume tab to publish. Perhaps a modal could offer that guidance (save-continue to publish, or keep reordering) When I clicked on the resume tab, JS error popped up asking me to leave or stay on this page like there were unsaved changes. Again, this feedback I mentioned is likely already considered and taken care of, but my ignorance has got the best of me. :) So awesome though! Don't take my suggestions/feedback as anything other than compliments, as I am jealous how exceptional you made this!

Of course, thanks so much for documenting your first experience so well. If a UI causes a confusing state for the user, there's work to be done to improve it. By moving sections up/down, do you mean reordering the "employment" section above the "education" section? Were you able to reorder schools or employment positions? Lastly, what browser/OS are you using? I've noticed drag and drop act funky in some browser/OS combinations.

  Late reply, but I was using Chromium. And yes, I was unable to move the Education above/below Employment, or something similar. When I grabbed something to move it, it would move the highlighted word (within subsection) to another subsection.

    Thanks for the reply! Reordering in the content form is only meant for reordering schools within the education section, reordering employment positions within the employment section, etc. Reordering entire sections can actually be accomplished in the resume customizer, where they can be moved up and down, or to diferent columns entirely. A few other users have mentioned the same difficulty, so I now recognize that it is a point of confusion due to a lack of guidance or clarity in the UI. I will be working on ways to reduce this confusion, and certainly the documenting of your experience will help with improving this part of the UI.
