LinkedIn saved posts allow you to bookmark content on LinkedIn that you want to reference later. When you save a post, it is stored in the “Saved” section of your LinkedIn profile. Here are some common questions about finding and managing your LinkedIn saved posts:
Where is the Saved section on LinkedIn?
The Saved section on LinkedIn is located in the drop down menu under your profile photo in the top navigation bar. On desktop, click on your profile photo and then select “Saved”. On mobile, tap on your profile photo and select “Saved”. This will take you to a page that shows all of your saved posts.
How do I save a post on LinkedIn?
To save a post on LinkedIn, locate the post you want to save and click on the “Save” icon. This is the icon that looks like a bookmark or ribbon. Saving the post will add it to your Saved section. On mobile, the save icon is located in the top right corner of the post. On desktop, it is located below the post text.
Can I organize my saved posts into categories?
Yes, you can categorize your saved posts on LinkedIn to keep them organized. When you are saving a post, you will see the option to “Save to”. Click this to select a category for that post. You can create new categories as needed. Your categories will appear in your Saved section for easy reference.
How do I find my saved posts after saving them?
To locate your saved posts after saving them:
- Click on your profile photo and select “Saved” from the dropdown menu.
- This will take you to your Saved section where all your bookmarked posts are listed.
- Posts are organized by most recent saves by default. You can use the categories on the left sidebar to filter your saved posts.
Can I search my saved posts?
Yes, LinkedIn allows you to search your saved posts to easily find something specific. At the top of your Saved section, there is a search bar. Enter a keyword or phrase here to search only within your saved posts. This makes it easy to find a specific post you previously saved.
How do I edit the categories for my saved posts?
You can edit the categories of your saved posts at any time:
- Go to your Saved section and locate the post you want to recategorize.
- Hover over the post and click on the 3 dots icon in the top right corner.
- Select “Edit save”.
- This will open a sidebar where you can change the category for that saved post.
Can I remove posts from my Saved section?

- Go to your Saved section and locate the post you want to remove.
- Hover over the post and click the 3 dots icon.
- Select “Remove from saves”.
- This will delete the post from your Saved section.
Is there a limit to how many posts I can save on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn does not specify an exact limit for how many posts you can save. However, if you do save an extremely large number of posts, your oldest saves will start dropping off as you add new ones. A good practice is to periodically review your Saved section and remove any outdated or unnecessary saves to keep this section manageable.
Can I export my saved posts from LinkedIn?
Unfortunately, LinkedIn does not have a built-in feature to export your list of saved posts. If you did want to export this data, here are some workarounds:
- Manually copy and paste the text of important saved posts into a Word doc or other file for safekeeping outside of LinkedIn.
- Use a third party LinkedIn analytics tool to analyze and export your saved post data and metrics.
- Capture screenshots of your most important saves as a visual record.
While not ideal, these methods can help back up your key saved content if needed.
Who can see my saved posts on LinkedIn?
Your LinkedIn saved posts are visible to you and you only by default. No one else will be able to see or access the posts you have saved to your profile. You have full control and privacy over your Saved section.
Can I share my saved posts with connections?
LinkedIn does not have a built-in way to share your actual list of saved posts. However, you can manually share individual saved posts with your connections in a couple ways:
- When viewing a post in your Saved section, click the “Share” icon to post it directly to your connections’ feeds.
- Copy and paste the link to a saved post and share it in an individual message to a connection.
While you can’t share your full list of saved posts, this does allow you to selectively reshare that content with your network.
Can I save posts from my LinkedIn feed?
Yes, you can save posts directly from your LinkedIn feed the same way you would on an individual post page. When scrolling through your homepage feed:
- Hover over a post in your feed and click the “Save” icon.
- This will instantly add that post to your Saved section without leaving your homepage.
Saving from your feed is a quick way to bookmark posts without disrupting your browsing.
Can I save posts I’m mentioned in or my own posts?
LinkedIn does not allow you to save posts you are mentioned in or posts you have shared yourself. The Save option is only available on posts shared by your connections and groups. However, you have a few options to keep track of your own posts:
- View your “Recent activity” section under your profile menu to see your latest posts and mentions.
- Use LinkedIn Analytics to monitor the performance of your posts.
- Bookmark the direct URL of your posts to reference later.
While you can’t officially save your own posts to your profile, these alternatives help you keep track of your sharing activity.
Can I save job postings on LinkedIn?
Yes, you can save LinkedIn job postings using the same process as saving other posts:
- When viewing a job posting, click the “Save” icon to bookmark it.
- This will add the job to the “Jobs” category in your Saved section.
- You can also save jobs while browsing listings to easily keep track of openings.
Saving job postings is a great way to organize opportunities you want to revisit and apply for later.
Can I save articles, videos, images, etc.?
LinkedIn allows you to save any type of content that appears in your feed as a shareable post. This includes:
- Articles
- Videos
- Images
- Presentations
- Infographics
- Documents like PDFs
- Any other media format shared as a post
The Save option is very flexible in terms of content formats – use it to bookmark any post containing content you want to reference.
Is there a Saved section on the LinkedIn mobile app?
Yes, the LinkedIn mobile app for iOS and Android has a Saved section identical to the website. To access it:
- Tap your profile photo in the top left of the app.
- Select “Saved” from the menu.
Your saved posts will sync across the website and mobile app automatically.
Can I sort my saved posts by date or category?
On LinkedIn’s desktop site, you have the ability to sort your saved posts in the following ways:
- Recent Saves – Default view showing your most recently saved posts first.
- Category – Sort alphabetically by the categories you have assigned.
- Post Date – Sort by original post date.
Use the drop down menu above your posts to change the sort order as needed.
Unfortunately, this sort functionality is not yet available on the LinkedIn mobile app.
Are my saved posts visible to recruiters?
No, your LinkedIn saved posts are not viewable to recruiters or anyone else besides you. Your Saved section remains private and does not appear on your public profile. This allows you to save anything that is helpful or interesting without having to worry about who can see it.
Conclusion
LinkedIn’s saved posts feature provides a useful way to bookmark content for reference later. Keep your Saved section organized using categories, search to quickly find specific posts, and remember to periodically clear out posts you no longer need. With a little bit of management, your saved posts can become an invaluable resource on LinkedIn.
