Did you know that you can schedule posts on LinkedIn? There are limitations, however. You can only schedule posts on your personal profile, but a company page schedule option is coming!
Are you a job seeker? Read to the end for a job seeker tip about company pages!
On your personal profile, you cannot schedule events, group posts, jobs, multi-photos, polls, reshares, or services at this time.
Want to know how to schedule personal posts? Here are the step-by-step instructions for the desktop.
- Click Home
- Click Start a post
- In the bottom right corner, click the clock icon
- Choose the date and time of your post (1 hr to 3 months out from the current time, rounded to the nearest interval)
- Click Next
- Type your post content
- Click Schedule
- See the confirmation
Do you need to change the posting time? Go back, follow steps 1-3 above, and then view all scheduled posts. Change the time and save.
You can also hit the trash can if you want to delete the post, but you will not be able to recover it once deleted.
Need to change the content and edit the post? You will have to start all over again. So, consider doing a post preview to see if the content details are correct before you hit schedule.
If you want to schedule a post for a LinkedIn company page, it can only be done on a desktop IF it’s been rolled out to you as a super or content admin on the page.
You will not be able to schedule events, first-party newsletters or articles, jobs, multi-photos, polls, reshares, or services on the company page.
Want to know how to schedule company page posts? Here are the step-by-step instructions for the desktop (if you have this feature available).
- Access your company page as a pager super or content admin
- Click Start a post
- In the bottom right corner, click the clock icon
- Choose the date and time of your post (the time is based on your location and scheduled 1 hr to 3 months out from the current time)
- Continue to create the post
- Click Schedule
