You can update a job after posting if details change. If no tradespeople have chased it, you can edit the original job description. If tradespeople are already engaged, only make minor changes and send them via direct messages so everyone has a clear record. For major changes to the scope, it's best that you cancel the job and post a new one.
If there are no tradespeople chasing your job
You can still edit the description of the job:
- Select ‘My jobs’
