Project Catalog

Hi Upwork team, 

I submitted the project on 6 march and second on 26 March but they are still in pending for approval. Please check their status and guide me. I'll be thankful for your kind cooperations.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Ak,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Allow me to explain how  Project Catalog works. Firstly, we review all project listings, including consultations, before publishing them on Project Catalog to help ensure a quality platform that helps you attract quality clients, and we promote Project Catalog on client pages.

 

Once your project listing is published, the project will display on your Upwork profile. You can also share the project’s URL in your profile’s description and on your social media accounts for even more visibility. Your project’s overview consists of its title, category, project attributes, and search tags. The information you include here is your first impression to prospective clients, so you’ll want it to shine. Feel free to check this help article for more details. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

 

NOTICE:

 

Project Catalog submissions by Top Rated, Top Rated Plus, and Expert Vetted Talent are typically reviewed within 2 business days. If you do not have one of these badges, please note that our current review process is experiencing an extensive delay due to internal efforts to enhance our efficiency and accuracy.

It may be due to upwork receiving more and more projects to review, so it will take time, maybe 10-15 days to 1 month.

It can be frustrating, but you have to wait for the project approval as Upwork is now receiving more projects to review.

  • Hello sir It is possible that your work violates the terms and conditions. I hope to review the terms and conditions. If you do not violate it, I will help you in any way possible.

Hi MD Sakirul,

 

Reviews can usually take up to five business days. However, we are currently experiencing some delays in reviewing Consultations and Catalog projects. Rest assured that you will be promptly notified by email once the review is complete. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hi,

      I submitted a project and consultation request on 6th May 24. Any idea of how much time it will  take for approval. I see dated threads on the same topic that we have a delay  for approvals for starters in  upwork, Are we still experiencing the same.

 

Regards

I upload my project on 28 April. After waiting 10 days I edit a word only on 8 May. Still, it is under review. What is happening there? I don't have any idea.

Hi Nayeem,

 

We are going to check with the team and update you here as soon as we hear back from them. Thank you!

Same problem with me. Submit but not approved yet. Also, submit a testimonial. 

Hi there,

 

When you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please note that it can normally take up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.  That said,  our team is currently receiving an unusually higher volume of requests. Kindly allow us a few more days to review the project you've submitted in case it goes over the regular time frame. Should any modifications are needed, our team will send you an email with details on how you can edit your project for approval. 

 

Regarding your testimonial request, please note that it can take up to 10 days for the review to be completed. You can check this help article to learn more.

 

Lastly, it seems that your profile photo may not be a photo of yourself. Please note that your profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile including your profile photo needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. Please check this help article for more information about profile pictures and visit our blog for more tips on choosing an awesome profile photo.

I have created some new projects on my profile since May 3. However, until now, they have not been approved, and the projects are still pending. Has anyone been approved for that long?

They written notes that I will take a longer but didn't mention how much it will take longer! Might possible they have some technical issue or changing something in system.

Hi Chung,

Due to high volume of requests, project catalog reviews and approvals are taking a minimum of 10 business days and could take longer.

More than that as well

Hi all,

I'm facing an issue with the approval of my project catalog items. I have added two projects since last monday but the status for both of them is still "Under Review".

 

Thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions. 

Not forever. My project was aproved within 1.5 months. Just wait. You cannot rust them.

I remember few months ago, I added projects and were approved with a couple of days. Seems like the review process takes longer these days.

hii...is there any work or project for academic writers ?

Hi, i have been trying to create a project but when i try to upload images to the project i keep getting an error regarding the scale of the image, which doesn´t make any sense because i used all the guidelines upwork provides and changed the scale like five times and nothing changes. 

Hi Bautista,

 

Please be aware that we scale images on Project Catalog to 1000x750 pixels, which is a 4:3 ratio. If your image’s original pixel number is significantly larger or smaller, or the original size is a much different ratio, it may not look good when scaled. Small pictures may look pixelated (blurry or fuzzy) when enlarged, for example.

 

You may visit this help article to learn more about adding picture-perfect images to your projects. Let us know if you need further assistance with a screenshot of what you can see from your end; we'll look further into that for you.

It has been more than 15 days since I posted my project catalog and it has neither been approved nor have I been informed of any reviews I need to make. I would really appreciate your assistance.
