Where are drafts on LinkedIn mobile?

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 722 million users worldwide. It allows professionals to connect with each other, find jobs, follow companies, and share content. The LinkedIn mobile app makes it easy to access your LinkedIn account on the go from your smartphone or tablet.

One key feature of the LinkedIn mobile app is the ability to create and save drafts of posts and messages that you can come back to later and publish when you’re ready. However, the LinkedIn mobile app does not make it obvious where to access your drafts.

In this article, we will walk through step-by-step how to find and access drafts you have created on the LinkedIn mobile app. We will cover:

• Where to find drafts of posts
• Where to find drafts of messages
• How to edit and publish drafts
• Tips for accessing drafts faster

Knowing where your drafts are kept and how to easily access them will allow you to efficiently manage your LinkedIn content on the go.

Where to Find Drafts of Posts

When you create a new post on the LinkedIn mobile app but don’t publish it right away, it will be saved as a draft. Here is where to find draft posts:

1. Open the LinkedIn app on your mobile device.
2. Tap on the “Write post” button at the top of your feed.
3. This will open the post editor. At the top right corner, tap on the “Drafts” icon (a clipboard icon).
4. This will show you a list of all your unpublished post drafts.

The drafts will be listed from newest to oldest. Tap on any draft post to open and edit it. Once you have finished editing, you can tap “Share” to publish the post to your connections’ feeds.

As you can see, the drafts feature provides easy access to all your unpublished posts so you can come back and post them when you are ready.

Where to Find Drafts of Messages

In addition to post drafts, you may also have unfinished direct messages that you saved as drafts. Here is where to find draft messages:

1. Open the LinkedIn app and tap on the “My Network” tab at the bottom.
2. At the top right, tap on the “Compose message” icon.
3. This will open your messages. At the top right, tap on the 3 horizontal lines menu.
4. Select “Drafts” from the menu.

This will display a list of all your unsent message drafts. Tap any draft to open it and edit the message. Once you’re ready, tap “Send” to deliver the message.

So when you need to come back to a message later, you can easily save it as a draft first.

Editing and Publishing Drafts

Once you open a draft from either your posts or messages, you can edit the content and publish when ready. Here are tips for editing drafts:

• Review the text of the draft and make any changes needed.
• You can add or update images, videos, hashtags, mentions, and emojis.
• Check for any spelling, grammar, or formatting issues.
• Change the visibility or audience settings if needed.
• When ready, tap “Share” or “Send” to publish the draft.

Making changes and edits to drafts before publishing allows you to perfect your posts and messages before sharing them widely.

Tips for Accessing Drafts Faster
