"The client interacts with your proposal while it is boosted. We consider eligible interactions as: the client opens your proposal, shortlists your proposal, messages you, archives your proposal, declines your proposal, or sends you an offer"

Is there a difference between a proposal being archived by a client and it being archived by Upwork?

How do I know if the client has archived my proposal?

    Ravi You will not know. But the question is why do you need to know?

    You don't.

    Is there a difference between a proposal being archived by a client and it being archived by Upwork?

    There is a difference between the client archiving a proposal and you seeing a proposal in your archived tab. When you see a proposal in your archived tab, it means it was declined, Upwork shut down the job post or the job post expired.

    When a client archives your proposal their side it just no longer shows on their page with the proposals.

      Thank you.

      If Upwork can tell us that our proposal was declined or viewed, why can't it tell us that the proposal was archived?

      ETA: Just got back the extra Connects used for boosting, so my proposal had not been archived by the client.

      5 days later

      If the client has archived my proposal, can I still boost.

      Conversely, if I am allowed to boost my proposal, does it imply my proposal is not archived?

      Finally, if I boost my proposal to any of the first three spots and it was earlier archived, will my proposal become visible again?

        Ravi How would you boost an archived, or any other "sent" proposal? 🤔

        @Natasha by editing it if you didn't boost it in the first place! This is from the Edit your Proposal help article: During this time, you can also boost your proposal if you didn’t originally submit the proposal with a boost. You can’t adjust a boost you’ve already submitted.

        Mafia romance... @Ravi do you edit the kind of books I'm thinking?😅

            @Andrea: If I have the option to boost, does that imply the client has not archived my proposal?

              Ravi Ohh that's a lot of fantasy! Any recs that ended up being published? And are any of your clients independent authors? I'd love to support indy authors.

                All the books I copyedited were published.

                Some of the authors have published just one or two books, but some have published a hundred or more.

                  Ravi I don't think so. To clarify, the edit feature is so new I never got a chance to study it or anything while I was still at Upwork so I know absolutely nothing concrete. This is just my gut feeling.

                    Ravi Nice! Well, if you come accross any particularly good ones please send them to me. I'll add them to my TBR.

                      Petra has not responded either.

                      This is when I really miss the Upwork forums.
