Workspace for your job contracts

You can manage your jobs and chat with the Cad Crowd workspace.

The contract workspace is a centralized work area where you can collaborate with experts on job contracts. Your workspace includes information about your job contract and tools for editing and managing it. Each job contract has a dedicated workspace, even if you have multiple job contracts with the same expert.

You can view workspaces on your Job contracts page.

The workspaces allow you to take the following actions:

  • Chat: You can chat with experts and share files
