As our marketplace evolves to support your business securely, inactive fixed-price contracts created before 2018 will no longer be supported on Upwork. But don’t worry; you can still work with freelancers on contracts impacted by this change.
Note:
Fixed-price contracts created after January 1, 2018, will continue to be supported, and no action is required from you or your freelancer for those contracts.
To close the contract:
- Go to Jobs › All Contracts to find the contract
- Choose the (...) button and select End Contract, or select the End Contract button on your dashboard
- Choose End Contract to confirm
If you and your freelancer want to continue working together, you can post a job and invite the freelancer.
