0:05 A press kit is a single PDF built from what is already on your site: your photo, your bio, your credits and how to reach you.
0:13 First decide where it appears. Hidden means the file is yours to send by hand, which is what most people want, because a press kit carries your contact details in a form that is easy to copy.
0:25 Then the bio, written in the third person, which is the convention for a press kit. The guidance underneath is worth reading; it is four paragraphs and it tells you what belongs in each.
0:35 Create PDF builds the file from everything above. It takes a few seconds.
0:41 Regenerate it whenever your credits change. The file that exists is the file people download, and it does not update itself when your site does.
