I’m brand-new to the platform and can’t seem to locate the right buttons or workflow for opening a chat with a freelancer. My immediate need is to understand, step by step, how to start a conversation so I can discuss project details with prospects as soon as I post a job. What I’m looking for • A concise, beginner-friendly guide (written or short video) that shows where to click—from a freelancer’s profile or my project page—so the first message lands in the right thread. • A quick overview of any prerequisites (for example, whether a job must be live, if a deposit is required, or if I need to use the “Invite” feature first). • Tips on message etiquette and organisation so conversations stay clear once replies begin. I’m happy with a PDF that includes annotated screenshots, a five-minute Loom recording, or a brief live screen-share—whatever is fastest for you to produce while still giving me a clear workflow I can repeat on my own.
