Some users may experience issues while adding a portfolio to their profile. 

Screenshot of issue. 

I would like to let you know that our engineers are aware of this issue and they are working as fast as possible to resolve it. We will update this thread once we have more information. 

While this issue is being resolved we would like to provide a workaround. Could you please try and add an image or video link to the Project Solution section as shown in the screenshot below?
 

 
Once done, the "Go to Preview" button should no longer be greyed out. Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance. 

Edited to update information. 10/12/2023

We would like to let you know that this issue is now resolved. Our engineers also made improvements to the Portfolio section to make it more clear what fields are required. 

The changes that were implemented include:

• Adding asterisks to required fields and a message on the file inputs to let freelancers know that those are required. Any required fields must be attended to in order for the preview button to work.
• Also, when it comes to a "Case study" type of portfolio there are two fields that have to have at least one file uploaded or a video link needs to be provided.

Screenshots for reference.

Required fields.

"Case study" type.

We appreciate your patience.

I solved this issue, at least in my case. I found that when I input description content in the form by cutting and pasting it from my text doc, the form didn't recognise that there was content, which cased the issue. I had to start over by typing directly into the form. 

So, I solved this by typing directly into the form, rather than pasting text into the form. 

I'll also point out that after a year of seeing this same issue reported, the forum moderators and Upwork support repeatedly gave the same responses - try a different browser, clear your cache - which do not solve the problem. They get a big thumbs down.

Hi, I'm also having this problem with my Safari browser. I've also tried to add the description by writing in manually but, the problem is still there.
