Apply as Freelancer: Disconnecting and reconnecting an Upwork account

Written by Vadym O

You can disconnect a freelancer's Upwork account at any time, from GigRadar or from Upwork.

Disconnect in GigRadar

  1. Go to Settings > Upwork Connected Account.

  2. Select the account card and click Remove.

  3. Confirm.

Revoke access on Upwork

The freelancer can also revoke GigRadar's access in their Upwork account settings. GigRadar will then show the connection as "Access revoked" or "Reconnect needed".

What happens after you disconnect

  • GigRadar immediately stops acting as that freelancer on Upwork.

  • Proposals already submitted stay on Upwork. Disconnecting doesn't remove them.

  • Proposals still being prepared are stopped and not sent.

  • Scanners set to Apply as freelancer for this person stop bidding. They don't switch to the agency.

Reconnecting

If a connection needs attention (for example, it expired or was revoked), go to Settings > Upwork Connected Account and click Reconnect on the account card. You can also click Fix in Profiles from the scanner's status line.

Reconnecting runs the same short flow as a first connection (Article 2) and takes about a minute.
