Hi Robert, 


There is no way to edit your job post from public to private once the job has already been closed. However, setting closed jobs from public to private can be requested and will be actioned on as needed.

Hi Rabia, 


As discussed on this thread, please know that we will not be able to remove your old ended contracts on your Work History.

Hi Avery,

Can you let me know how to request the setting closed jobs from public to private?

At the moment the job is not showed on client side, just showed on my side.

Thanks.

Hi Leang,

If you would like to set your earnings to private you will need to upgrade to our Plus plan. Jobs can`t be set to private or removed from a freelancer profile. If you have additional questions please send me a PM with your Contract ID so that I can advice you accordingly. Thank you.

You can switch your completed jobs to private by clicking on "Make Private" from the options menu. Here's the help article for more information. Thank you.

I would like to request to have closed jobs made private. How would I do this?

Hi Cob,

 

I'd like to reiterate as Goran mentioned here, that closed jobs can't be made private or removed from your profile. 

 

Thank you.

Hello, I had a problem with a client. I made a really complex porject for him but at the end he did not want it anymore and decided to pay me just half, I am currently at a dispute for it. However, what really bothers me is that he ranked my skills badly, and even worse, the title of the project is compleatly different, it says it is a simple html/css page when in reality it was a very complex fullstack project. I want to delete this feedback because it is compleatly unfair, and I would like to know how. I appreciate any help that you can give me with this.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience, Juan Miguel.

 

This case have been escalated to the correct team and they will reach out to you directly as soon as they review this case. 

 

Feedback can only be disputed or removed in a few cases, when a full refund is issued, when a Top Rated freelancer uses the perk or when it's in violation of TOS. Please see this Community post for more information about Upwork feedback system.

 

Thank you!

We had similar issue that shocked us out few days ago. Entire of works and source code were stolen by that client. We trust him and push our code with document to his server. When he realize we need to depend on him to release the fund, he start taking advance from us by adding extra thing over and over again. 

We have nothing to lose and close contract and leave him with our works (even leave him 5* and hope we can find someone to use). However, the madness client attach us by his feedback.

You can't, except with a full refund of all money paid under the contract.

It is not possible. Hiding or removing past jobs would essentially give freelancers the ability to remove bad feedback, and that defeats the purpose of having feedback.

 

EDIT: I stand corrected. I didn't think it was possible.

Craig A, can you tell me how to hide a project. I assume that you're recant at the end means there's a way.

Hi Monique,

This depends how the project has been posted, please refer to Avery comment above for more details.
If you have any additional questions fell free to post them here.

The job is finished. Can you help now? Can it be done? I really need it to be done.

Are you asking as a client or as a freelancer?

 

A freelancer.

The only way to completely make a project vanish from your freelancer history is to give a full refund of all money paid under the contract.

 

That isn't possible. They contract has ended.

Hi Monique,

Once a contract has ended it will be showed on your profile with the feedback your client has left. If no feedback is provided on your contract the job title will be listed on your profile with this line "No feedback given".

 How long ago did the contract end?

what “isn’t possible?” Issuing a refund? Unless the contract ended a long time ago you should still be able to refund.

If it ended a long time ago and can no longer be refunded, it can’t be removed.

So it stays. I don't think there's any way I can get a moderator to go in and do it for me? In just need it off my profile.

Hi Monique,

We won't be able to hide the job from your profile, however I see that you are also in communication with our support team and have recently reached out to them, I'll follow up with them directly and you can expect to be updated directly on your ticket with additional information.
