How it works:

- The steps and requirements that freelancers build into their projects will appear in the timeline for each order.
- Each order has its own workroom.
- When your professional submits work, you will be notified and have the opportunity to review it, then either Approve and Pay or Request Revisions.
To access the workroom:
- Select Jobs > All Contracts
