Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Upwork and I just received an invitation to interview for a job. However, their job posting is vague and I have a couple questions I'd prefer to have clarification on before accepting an invitation to interview. I do not see an option to message them and ask any questions though, as their message does not show up in my message inbox, but rather under the proposals tab.
Is there something I'm missing, or is it not possible to message them for clarification without accepting the invitation to interview?
Thanks in advance!

It's not possible to do that. Ask your questions in your proposal. You can always back out of the interview if the answers make you decide you don't want to accept the job.

What you describe is exactly what an interview is for, to clarify any questions. What is your trepidation about? Accepting an interview means nothing in upwork terms, it can't have any negative consequences. Only thing though, you should respond within 24 hours to keep your responsiveness high.
(Final note: some clients will send you an invitation, you reply, and you never hear back from them. There is no obligation to you in any form, or to them, for that matter.)
