Upcoming Changes allow Freelancers to Edit Milestones

We are thrilled to share that in June freelancers will have the ability to propose new milestones and propose changes to existing unfunded milestones on active contracts. This has been a longstanding request, we know many of you have been asking for the ability to add, delete and reorder milestones for a long time now.

 

With this new change freelancers will be able to:

  • Add new milestones
  • Change the amount on existing upcoming milestones that are not funded
  • Change the due date on existing upcoming milestones that are not funded
  • Reorder existing upcoming milestones
  • Delete existing upcoming milestones

 

This new change to milestones gives freelancers and clients the ability to plan out their projects better and streamline communication around milestones.

 

Freelancers will see a new “Add/Edit Milestones” button in the contract room of their existing fixed-price contracts. Once a milestone change request is submitted to a client, clients can then approve or deny requests.

As a best practice, we recommend you discuss any additions or changes to milestones with your client before adding or editing a milestone. Communication is important.

 

We hope this improves your experience and as always let us know if you have any questions or feedback.

Hi Roslen,

 

Please note that only future milestones that have not yet been activated or funded can be changed. Work must be completed and payment released on the current milestones before the next one can be activated. You should not start working on a milestone until it is activated and funded by your client. If you want to edit your suggestions please withdraw your request and submit a new one. You can check out this help article for more information.

 

Thank you.
