What this browser remembers
The browser-only information ATSReady keeps for setup continuity, import tracking, reminders, and the display preferences that follow the browser rather than the account.
ATSReady keeps some information in your current browser so setup and in-progress work can continue more smoothly after a refresh.
This page covers the user-facing items that matter most. It is not a list of every temporary value the app may use internally.
What ATSReady remembers
| Remembered item | Where ATSReady keeps it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| sidebar collapsed state | this browser | remembers whether the main sidebar is collapsed |
| sidebar section choices | this browser | remembers which sidebar groups you manually opened or closed |
| color mode | this browser | remembers whether you chose light, dark, or your system setting |
| theme style | this browser | remembers which theme palette you chose |
| résumé editor pane split | this browser | remembers how wide you dragged the editor against the preview |
| résumé editor focus mode | this browser | remembers whether you left it showing both panes, the editor alone, or the preview alone |
| résumé editor section rail | this browser | remembers whether the section rail shows labels or icons only |
| résumé desktop-only notice | this browser | remembers that you dismissed the notice saying editing is a desktop task |
| résumé import in progress | this browser | lets ATSReady reconnect to an in-progress résumé import after a refresh |
| résumé import timer | this browser | keeps the import timer visible after a refresh |
| setup in progress | this tab | keeps Get started open while you are still working through setup |
| processing notices you already saw | this browser | avoids showing the same completion notice again; older entries expire |
| result items you have not opened yet | this browser | remembers unopened items for a while so they still appear as new |
| trial banner dismissed | this browser | keeps the trial banner collapsed after you dismiss it, and restores it a day later |
| campaign pop-up already shown | this tab | prevents the same campaign pop-up from opening again in that tab session |
| one refresh attempt for a broken page update | this tab | remembers whether ATSReady already tried its one automatic reload for that tab |
| voice transcript text size | this browser | keeps your chosen transcript text size between voice rounds |
Each of those belongs to a surface documented elsewhere: Collapse the sidebar and Use the sidebar own the first two rows, Edit a resume owns the editor's pane split, focus mode and section rail, Resume editing on a phone owns the desktop-only notice, Import a resume owns the import tracking, What the activity log shows owns the processing notices, The free trial owns the trial banner, and Mock interviews own the voice transcript.
What this means in practice
- a new browser, cleared browser storage, or a new private session starts from defaults
- these are display and continuity choices, not account settings: they do not follow you to another device, and signing in elsewhere will not bring them with you
- local browser state can survive a refresh even when the underlying server job is still running
- session-only items end when that tab session ends
Not everything that looks like a local preference is one. Muting the reach-out reminder on a job, for example, is stored on your account and does follow you between devices.

This page carries no screenshot. Browser storage has no appearance — it is the reason a screen looks the way it does when you come back to it, and the only way to see it directly is a developer tool, which is not part of the product.
