Reviewing task proposals

After submitting a request, review proposals from experts on finishing your task request

A task proposal can be submitted for any task that is open to Accepting proposals.

You can review submitted proposals by navigating to the tasks page, selecting the task request, and clicking on the "Proposals" tab. If this tab does not appear, it means that you have not yet received a proposal.
