All Work Profile vs Specialized Profile

[sh0x12]

Hi, so I was all done with my profile then I saw I could create a specialized profile. So I tried it now I have a specialized profile that looks just like my general profile.

We can't hide one? We can't unpublish or delete the specialized one or All Work profile? What if you don't need a separate profile? 

Hoping someone found a suitable "fix". I dont get it. This is stupid. We can't hide All Work profile after a specialized one is created and we can't delete the last specialized profile.

I found out that if I switch specialties, the profile goes back into draft instead of published. 

I'll leave it like this. Upwork should do something about how this was implemented.

You can delete your any specialised profile at any time. But you can never delete your general profile (all work profile).

No we can't. The app doesn't allow it and the  docs clearly state that we cant.

"If you only have one specialized profile, you will not see the option to delete or unpublish it."

There are multiple community posts that complain of this as well, I looked before posting... And I tried.

We can have two specialized profiles but only one can be deleted. The delete option isn't available with one specialized profile.

If you have more info how to do it, please share.

Meanwhile I was able to force it back into draft by changing my specialty.
