On February 22, they launched a test feature which we’ve been asking from them for SOOO long - Upwork Proposal Views. Finally, freelancers will be able to identify when their proposal was viewed by the client, helping to analyze and improve their proposals submission process.
Proposals Views feature allows freelancers to see timestamps of when clients viewed their submitted proposals.

The ‘Bell’ icon at the top of the page will also show notifications of proposal views.
This is a very cool feature and we are really happy Upwork is adding it!
