Schedule posts

Last updated: 4 months ago

You can now create posts and schedule them to go live at a later time. You can also view the list of all the posts that you’ve scheduled.

Currently, scheduling posts is not supported for the following types of posts:

  • Events
  • Jobs
  • Services

If you add any of the above types to your post, you will see an error message indicating that scheduling is not supported for that post. Either clear the selected date/time to post immediately or remove the invalid post type.

To schedule a post:

  1. Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. The Create a post pop-up window appears.

  2. Type the content of your post in the What do you want to talk about? field.

  3. Click the Clock icon in the lower-right corner to schedule your post.

    • In the Schedule post pop-up window, select a date and time when you want to publish the post. The time selected must be within 10 minutes to 3 months from the current time (rounded to the nearest interval).
    • You can also enter the exact time to schedule a post instead of using the 30-minute increment options from the dropdown.

    Note: Scheduled time will be standardized in UTC based on your device's time zone settings.

  4. Click Next.

    • You can see the scheduled date and time above the post.
  5. Click Schedule.

    • A post scheduled confirmation pop-up appears on the lower left of the page.

Notes:

  • To change the time of the post before scheduling it, click the Clock icon, update the time, click Next, and then click Schedule to schedule the post.
  • If you don’t want to schedule a post, click Edit next to the time mentioned above the post. In the Schedule post pop-up window, click Clear time. The schedule details are no longer available. Click Post to create a post immediately or click the Close icon on the upper-right corner to discard the post.
  • Once a post is scheduled, you can reschedule the publish time or delete the post.

To view scheduled posts:

  1. Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

  2. Click the Clock icon on the lower-left of the Create a post pop-up window.

  3. In the Schedule post pop-up window, click View all scheduled posts in the lower-left corner. You can view a preview of all the posts that you’ve scheduled in the Scheduled posts page.

Notes:

  • To preview a schedule post, click the post, and view the details.
  • To delete a scheduled post, click the  Delete icon next to the post. In the Delete scheduled post? pop-up window, click Delete, and confirm your action.
  • To edit or reschedule a scheduled post, view your scheduled posts, click the  More icon in the upper right, and then click Modify schedule or Edit post.
