On the Calendar, Your details and Your career: Import (file-up) and Export (file-down) as a button group beside the h1, aligned to the end. When more than one format is available — JSON, plus whatever a plugin adds — the button opens a popover to choose.

What exists today

Calendar: iCalendar download and import in a second header row (templates/applications/calendar.html:161-169; applications/views_ical.py). No JSON of the calendar alone.
Your details: Export or import your record at the foot of the page (templates/accounts/profile.html:362-373) → the candidate file (resume:candidate_file, JSON of details and career); and a vCard of yourself (:375-387).
Your career: Import (Europass) and Export (candidate file) already beside the h1 (templates/resume/overview.html:17-23), as ghost links without icons.
No format registry for these: register_document_format is for CV output (documents/formats.py); imports have the importer plugin kind (plugins/kinds.py:30, Europass built in). file-up and file-down are not synced icons.

What would change

A shared group: one format goes straight there, several open a popover listing them.
A small registry of import/export formats per subject (calendar, details, career), copying documents/formats.py's rules, with the built-ins registered (calendar: iCalendar; details and career: candidate JSON, vCard export, Europass import).

Decisions

The list said upon click goes to previous equivalent period for Your career's Import and Export — read as a copy from the calendar's bullets; they import and export, as here.
Your details' foot keeps a pointer to the full archive (Export everything). Recommended.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07.
