Building a network of fellow professionals you can count on is one of the best ways to grow your business. Today we announced a beta test as the first step in a greater initiative. With this feature, talent included in the test can save and message other talent on the platform.
Check out the announcement and let us know your thoughts about these updates in the comments below.

Thank you!
Unfortunately it didn't work, the conversations are still spread through different accounts. I cleared my cookies and refreshed the browser twice. Still no change.

Hi Amanda, I'm sorry to hear that. We're looking into this right now and I will report back to you shortly. Thank you for your patience and feedback!

I am a market researcher and I would love to connect with other market researchers on UpWork. However, you can only connect with other UpWork Pros only if you have their names or email addresses. What's the point of connecting with those people if you already know them? I get that I could use the client side to find people and chat, but again, what if I didn't have that? Seems backward

Hi Thamsanqa,
Thanks for your feedback. I'd be sure to bring this up to the team for review and consideration.
I'd also like to add that when you search for freelancers in this feature, you can use the freelancer’s first name and last initial, as shown in the images added in the announcement post. For example, you want to add Valeria to your network; you can search “Valeria K” and choose her from the search results.”

rhetorical question: Any particular reason this tidbit wasn't made more explicit in the announcement body text? If we happen to know a colleague's name, it's pretty counterintuitive to have to search for them by pretending we don't.

Hi Douglas, we definitely understand! This will be resolved as part of a new feature release later this month, where you'll have a fully functional search with all the parameters available in profiles.

Hi Thamsanqa, thank you for the feedback! In addition to Joanne's comment, I recently posted an update to address this feedback ( you might see it if you scroll up a little bit in this forum ^^ ).
We'll be releasing a feature (end of this month) to be able to add freelancers to your network from the talent search bar, which allows you to search and filter by all parameters of your profile. This would let you find other market researchers by category and skills, instead of just by name or email.
Hope this helps!

Hi! I hope you are doing great. I want to know how can I get "my network" on upwork. I am unable to find it yet. Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Supposedly, we can click on the Find Work and then Your Network. I don't have the Your Network on the list.

The above excerpt from the announcement describes something other than what I see. I have responded to an inviation to join a network. I do not see a waitlist button.

Hi Douglas,
You have full access to the feature; therefore, you would not see the waitlist button.

OK, thanks. I assumed I did not have full access, as described in the quoted text, because I don't see any way to invite someone to a new network. What am I missing?

Hey Douglas,
This might be a bug. I'm checking with the team behind the feature and will update you ASAP.
Apr 7, 2022 03:48:35 PM by MichaelJ M
Hi Douglas,
It looks like we found a bug, but we've resolved it for you. You should now see a green "Add to Network" button on the Your Network page.
Apr 7, 2022 03:51:27 PM by Douglas Michael M
It's working, Mike. Thanks for the quick resolution.
Best,
Michael

Hello,
When trying to access "Your Network" I keep getting this notification at the top: Failed to get connections.
I do have connections in there. Looks like a glitch.
Can you check? Thanks!

Hi Lisa,
I checked your account and tried to replicate the error but wasn't able to. It may have been a temporary glitch, but let me know if you continue experiencing it and if switching browsers helps.
