Edit title of specialized profile

Hello!

 

I recently created my profile and added two specialized profiles, however I realized both the names I put are pretty similar, so I wanted to change the name of one of the profiles. Is this possible? When I click 'edit' I don't see anywhere to change the name.

Hi Allison,

 

Please click on the pencil icon right next to the title you just created to update it. For more information, please check out this help article. Thank you!

Hi Joanne,

I have a similar question...I want to change the tab name (Not the profile title below the tabs).  I don't get a pencil icon when I hover next to the tab. Any suggestions?

Hi Sherif,

 

You`re referring to the profile that is in draft at the moment, correct?

If yes, unfortunately you won't be able to edit the title at this point. You will need to delete it and set it up again if you would like to change your title. If you have any additional questions let me know, thank you.

Hi Goran,

 

Thanks for your reply.  Actually I want to edit one of my active profile tabs, is that possible?

(I would rather not delete the whole profile which I assume would also delete work history as well)

Hi Sherif,

 

Unfortunately no. You can't edit the Tab Name/title at this moment, you will need to delete it and then create it again. 
Rest assured your feedback will not be lost, it will be still listed under your general profile. Thank you.

Yes, you can. By clicking on "switch speciality" you can change the specialized profiles tab text.

Muhammad nailed it!

Thank you, Muhammade. This helped me very much.

How do I delete a draft of my specialized profile? I don't see any option.

Hi Nishi,

 

You will need to go to Settings > Profile Settings > Specialised profiles. 
I would like to confirm that by design you will need to have at least one specialized profile on your account. Thank you.

Hi Joanne, I need help regarding my specialized profile and filling out the employment history.

 

Find me here https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0120010e6483611aea .

 

It says that I am specialized in Google translation services, however this is a mistake, maybe I've made it during the registration proces. So, since I am a wellness educator and coach, please update my specialized profile with this info in mind.

 

Also, I have trouble entering my employment history. Company field, in the employment filling form, doesn't recognize employer's/company's I've worked for, neither the self employment, so please instruct me on how to solve this. Thank you.

Hi Nebojsa,

 

You can edit your Specialized Profile by going to Settings > Profile Settings. Regarding updating employment history, even if it does not populate your company's name, you should be able to add those details manually and save them. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi i have added my specialized profile named "full stack development" and completed 2 jobs through that now i want to change it to "Laravel Full stack developer" kindly do it for me i am unable to edit that i can't delete that because i have jobs on it thanks

Hi Sherz,

 

"Full Stack Development" is your profile's specialty and I'm afraid that "Laravel" isn't available as a specialty you can choose. As an alternative, can utilize your profile title and overview to further detail the services you offer. You can check this help article to learn more about Specialized Profiles.

Hi Umais,

 

Thank you for reaching out. Please note that "Ecommerce Website Development" is your profile specialty and it cannot be edited. However, you may find specialties related to your category in this help article. You may also consider utilizing your profile title and overview to further detail the services you offer. You can check this help article for the process and to learn more about Specialized Profiles.
