Notes

Upwork’s notes feature lets you add private notes to any freelancer or agency, whether or not you’ve saved them. Notes can be created or edited directly from profiles, search results, and talent lists, and may include soft skills or tags—helping streamline talent management as your network grows.

Adding and editing notes

To make adding notes on freelancers and agencies as easy as possible, you can do it in multiple places:

• Most pages in the Talent menu
• Search
• Proposal manager
• Directly from freelancer and agency profiles

There are two ways to add or edit notes:

1. Click the (...) button in the top right corner of a freelancer or agency card or profile and select “Add a note” or “Edit note.” Enter your note and then click “Save Notes.”
2. After saving a freelancer or agency to a list using the heart button, look for a success message at the top of the screen — it includes a link to either “Add a note” or “Edit note.”

When adding notes on freelancer or agencies, you can also add soft skills and custom tags.

All notes are private and can not be seen by freelancers.
