How can I reverse an accidentally withdrawn proposal?

[cassplouis]

I've withdrawn a proposal with the intention of quickly editing it and then re-submitting. This has worked in the past, yet this time, I'm unable to resubmit. It's shown in my archives, however when I go to the job post, there is no option to re-submit, but also confusingly shows the proposal as still being active. Please assist 

(I've attached images of my issue.)

Please make sure about everything before sending proposal as you can not send proposal to a single job twice. 

Once you with drew, it's done. Moreover, You will not recieve your connect points back after withdrawl of proposal.

Hello.  I'm really interested in this job.  But I accidentally withdrew my proposal because I have corrections in my cover letter, I thought I can resubmit.  I still saved the job though.  I hope you can help me. Here's the job link: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

If it was a boosted proposal, you cannot submit it again.
If it was a normal proposal, you just have to resubmit the proposal, again spending the necessary connects. There is no turning back.

Hello,

I have withdrawn a proposal and now I can’t resubmit to the same job.

- On the job page the submit proposal button is now in grey and I get this message ‘You have already submitted a proposal. View Proposal’.

- On the proposal details page, I can’t edit anything and there is this message ‘Withdrawn: Applied by mistake’ and ‘Your bid is set to 3 Connects’, so I know that I have withdrawn my proposal.

- On the archived projects, I see the job on the list.

How can I resubmit to this job?

Hi for one of my first proposals the client said to specifically add the word iCollage in my first sentence. I forgot and then went to edit the cover letter. Since I couldn't I just withdrew my proposal but now I can't resubmit. Can I get some help?

[LuiggiR]

Hi Riangelo,

Do you get any kind of error message whenever you attempt to resubmit your proposal? If so, can you share a screenshot of that message?

Not necessarily.

I believe it is a gamble. Sometimes you can. Sometimes you can't.

[8e3edbe2]

hello! I just withdraw my proposal because I forgot to attached the sample file and I would like to resubmit my proposal again but it won't let me submit. 

Please help me. Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks 

[dd63c576]

You can not re submit any proposal. 

[prestonhunter]

Don't plan on resubmitting.

There seems to be some kind of bug with this.
Many freelancers appear asking about the same problem.
You should contact CS if a moderator does not appear to help you.

 After withdraw to modify my proposal I cannot reapply a new proposal.

My proposal ID: 1442838177749426177

Please help me.

Thanks

[dd63c576]

You can't. 

Try some new jobs.

[b394f23a]

Thanks

[prestonhunter]

Yeah... Don't count on being able to reapply to a job after you withdraw a proposal.

I think sometimes you can reapply, and sometimes you can't.

I asked Valeria not long ago and she told that it still works the same, I mean, the proposal could be resent.
I think there could be some reasons why it can't be forwarded, like client did the work private. I'm not sure.
I will bookmark your post to see if any mod clarifies what is happening.
A lot of queries about this are popping up.

Thanks for showing up Andrea.
I think this should be notified in some way to everyone, especially to avoid wrong answers from other freelancers.

Hi

"Please take note this question is related to agency account"

I have submitted a proposal by mistake and withdrew it, please see the Archived image attached. 

But I still cannot re-submit another proposal and keeps telling I still have an existing proposal, please see View Proposal image. 

Please advise.

I withdrew proposal by accident and can't resubmit it. Can I do it some way?

[JoanneP]

Hi Taras,

To resubmit your proposal, you will need to check your archived proposal page and click on the withdrawn proposal. You'll have to click on the option to view the job posting and click on the submit a proposal button. Please know that the connects you used to initially submit a proposal will not be refunded. You will be using your available connects to resubmit your proposal. Thank you!

There are many good reasons why you might want to withdraw and resend a proposal.
I've done.
This is a recognized bug and the mods are following it. You know it, right?
So instead of saying you can't or don't plan on doing it, you can say it's a bug and some mod will help.
