How do I seal my proposal?

As a provider, there is nothing that you need to do to seal your proposal so that no other providers can see your proposal text and amount.   When posting a job on the Elance site, the employer specifies if their job will have open  or sealed  proposals.  When your proposal is submitted, it is automatically sealed or open based on the employer's posting choice.

When you are logged in, you will always see your proposal text and amount even though the job's proposal option is sealed, because you are the owner of the proposal.  You will always be able to view your proposal information, however no other provider can see your proposal details.
