Accept Dispute and Reject Dispute buttons?

[trixxmanaty]

Dear team,

I filed a dispute with a client who ended a contract and do not want to pay the last milestone that I completed. In the Dispute Center, when I click on my case it shows 2 buttons to Accept Dispute and Reject Dispute. What does this mean and do I have to respond as soon as possible?

Thanks.

You an ignore those buttons, they are only relevant for clients and it is a user-interface fu peculiarity that it shows on the freelancer-side.

I feel like Upwork should fix that and remove it from the communication with the person who launched the dispute.
