Upwork created Contract Workrooms to help freelancers organize and complete projects efficiently. Each contract has its dedicated workroom, providing a central hub for all communication, files, and project management tools.
To access the contract workroom, go to your active contracts. Select the name of the contract you wish to view. The overview tab shows your earnings to-do lists, files and milestones. The workroom allows you to review your work, diary and time sheets. The contract workroom lets you seamlessly message and video chat with your clients. The contract details tab shows the project description and summary of job for contracts that have ended. You can send the client a message, view your work diary hours, or propose a new contract. Upwork's Contract workroom is your dedicated workspace for managing projects, communicating with clients, and keeping your freelance business organized.
To access your Contract Workroom, follow these steps:
- Go to Deliver work.
- Select Your active contracts.
- Choose the name of the contract you want to access.
Features of the Contract Workroom
The Contract Workroom offers a variety of features to streamline your workflow:
- Communication: Send and receive messages with your client, initiate video/audio chats, or schedule meetings.
- Collaboration: Share files, review earnings history and invoices, and track your time (on hourly contracts).
- Project management: Submit completed work for approval, request or edit milestones (fixed-price contracts), and manage your to-do list (hourly contracts).
- Contract details: View contract details, client feedback, and major activity logs.
- Additional tools: Access the original job post and proposals, propose a new contract, or issue a refund (if applicable).
If you are an agency member on Upwork, you won't see your earnings under the Overview tab, as your agency handles payments directly.
Also, the Work Diary lets you track your time, add notes, and manage entries for the current workweek. You can view details from previous weeks but not edit past entries.
