Career Vault and your plan
What Free, Pro, and Agency each allow, and what happens when you switch.
Career Vault is personal, so it follows your own plan. A workspace you belong to never changes it.
What each plan allows
| Free | Pro | Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Career Vault | Yes | Yes | Yes, hidden by default |
| Show or hide it in the sidebar | No | Yes | Yes |
| Store resumes, portfolio, certificates | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Cover letter templates and saved answers | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Application kits and application tracking | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Build and privately preview a Career Profile | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Publish a Career Profile | No | Yes | Yes |
Free accounts can build and privately preview a profile in full. Only publishing is held back. Follow-up tasks use your normal personal task limit.
Show or hide Career Vault
On Pro and Agency, Career Vault can be switched on or off:
- Go to Settings → Account.
- Find Personal Career Vault.
- Turn it on or off.
Pro shows Career Vault by default; Agency hides it by default. Free accounts always show it. Hiding it only removes Career Vault from the Career section of the sidebar: everything stored in it stays exactly where it was, and switching it back on never republishes a Career Profile.
Why Agency hides it
Agency is an agency-operations plan, and an agency owner setting up a team workspace does not need a personal job-seeking section in their sidebar. It is hidden rather than removed, and switching it on takes one step.
Sponsored Pro
If an agency sponsors your Pro through a paid seat, you get Pro-level Career Vault access, publishing included, on your own account. See Sponsored Pro.
What happens when your plan changes
Free to Pro
Publishing unlocks. Nothing else changes, and nothing needs re-uploading.
Pro to Free
Your vault content, your profile content, and your chosen link are all kept. You can still edit and privately preview the profile on Free. Publish again whenever you return to Pro.
This also applies when a sponsorship ends because you left an Agency workspace or your seat was removed.
Pro or Free to Agency
Two things happen:
- Career Vault is hidden from the sidebar. Switch it back on in
Settings → Account → Personal Career Vault.
- A published profile is set back to Draft. Publish it again if you still
want it public.
Nothing is deleted in either case.
Agency to Pro
Career Vault becomes visible again by default, and the Personal Career Vault switch stays available if you would rather keep it hidden. Your profile's publish state is left as it was.
Nothing is ever deleted by a plan change
Plan changes only affect publication state and sidebar visibility. Your files, templates, portfolio, certificates, and saved answers stay exactly where they are, on every plan.
