A RemakeCV template variant is a version of your template for a specific situation: a client's own branding, an anonymised layout, or a version without a cover page. Variants sit alongside your house template, and consultants pick the right one when processing a CV. Variants can be restricted so only the relevant team sees them.

## When do agencies use variants?

| Situation | Variant |
|---|---|
| Client requires submissions in their own template | Client-branded version |
| Client runs blind hiring | Anonymised version with identifying fields removed |
| Client wants the CV only, no cover sheet | Version without a cover page |
| Different divisions with different brands | One variant per brand |
| Different markets or languages | Region-specific wording and date formats |

## How do I get a variant set up?

Email support@remakecv.com with what needs to differ from your existing template. Because a variant starts from a template we have already built, it is usually a faster piece of work than an original build.

> **Tip:** 
Name variants after the situation, not the design — "Acme Corp — anonymised" beats "Template 3". Consultants pick from a dropdown under time pressure, and the name is the only thing preventing the wrong document going to the wrong client.

## Can I limit who sees a variant?

Template visibility can be scoped to named consultants, but it is configured by RemakeCV rather than self-serve — email support@remakecv.com with the template and who should see it. Administrators always see every template regardless.

> **Warning:** 
Unless you have specifically asked us to restrict a variant, **every consultant can select it**. If a client-branded template must not go to the wrong client, ask for the restriction explicitly rather than assuming it.

## Can I switch a CV between variants after processing?

Yes. Open the CV from [history](https://www.remakecv.com/help/formatting-cvs/cv-history.md), select a different variant and regenerate. No re-upload, no credit.

This is genuinely useful in practice: a candidate rejected by one client can be resubmitted to another in that client's format in seconds.

## Should anonymisation be a variant or a setting?

Both work, and it depends on how you operate:

- **As a variant** — when the layout itself differs, for instance a cover page carrying the reasoning that the anonymised CV cannot.
- **As a per-CV action** — when the layout is identical and only the content changes. See [auto-anonymisation](https://www.remakecv.com/help/anonymisation-and-compliance/auto-anonymisation.md).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a client's template carry their logo instead of ours?

Yes. Client-branded variants are a common setup for agencies on preferred-supplier agreements that require submissions in the client's own format.

### Can I restrict a variant to one team?

Yes, but ask us to set it up — visibility rules are configured by RemakeCV, not self-serve. Without a restriction, every consultant can select every template.

### Can I switch a CV between variants?

Yes, and it costs no credit. Regenerate the same CV in a different variant from CV history.
