Bid summaries read as writing, not as code

Experts write their proposal summary in the same rich-text editor the rest of the platform uses — headings, lists, links, emphasis. On the lead workspace, none of that survived. The Proposals section printed the summary as plain characters, so the formatting arrived as visible tags, and because the text never wrapped it stretched the table wider than the card it sat in. The one screen where a bid gets chosen was the hardest one to read it on.

The section is now a list of cards, one per bid.

What this means for you

Reading a bid. The summary appears as the expert wrote it — headings are headings, lists are lists, links are links. Long summaries are shortened to a few lines with Show more to open them in place and Show less to close them again; a short summary shows no control at all.

On a narrow screen. Nothing in the section scrolls sideways any more, at any width. A summary written as one unbroken run of characters wraps instead of stretching the card.

What each card tells you. The expert and their bid title, the amount in the lead’s currency, the date the bid was created, and its current status.

Who sees which bids is unchanged. A customer still sees only the accepted bid, an expert only their own, and a manager the whole pool. Before the bid pool opens, the section still says so.
