Behance links for cover letters

Hi there,
My name is Svetlana, and I'm new to Upwork. Could anyone tell me if I can include Behance links to my past work in my cover letters?

Hi Svetlana,

Thank you for sharing your concern. I'd like to clarify that sharing a Behance links on a proposal or Upwork profile is not allowed. This is considered a TOS violation and may lead to action taken on your Upwork account.

We understand that portfolios are essential to a freelancer's bidding process to show off their past work and potential to complete a future project. Please know that you may share external links to personal portfolios or other websites that provide examples of past work as long as these links contains no contact information.

Communication outside the platform is not allowed, so when you share these outside links, please ensure that they don't contain any means of contacting you outside of Upwork; users can only communicate through Upwork until a contract is in place. You may read more about it here. You can also check the Upwork TOS here.

Hi there,
Can I share my Behance link on Upwork in cover letters? My Behance doesn't contain any contact information.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Svetlana,

Unfortunately, sharing Behance links in proposals and profile, even though they don't have contact information, is no longer allowed and currently considered a TOS violation.

Hi Ronna, what about GitHub links that can definitely be used to contact the owner? Can you check? Are those no longer allowed too?
