Saving posts on LinkedIn is a simple yet powerful way to curate content that matters most to you. Whether you're researching industry trends or tracking competitor updates, knowing how to save posts on LinkedIn helps you stay organized and efficient. This guide walks you through the exact steps to save posts and how to manage your LinkedIn saved items effectively.
How to Save Posts on LinkedIn
Saving posts on LinkedIn is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps:
- Locate the post you want to save. This can be any post in your feed, a shared article, or a video.
- Click on the three dots (ellipsis) icon in the upper right corner of the post.
- Select "Save" from the dropdown menu.
Once saved, the post is added to your LinkedIn saved items for easy access later. You can save posts from individuals, companies, or groups, which helps you build a personalized content library.
Accessing and Organizing Your LinkedIn Saved Items
To view your saved posts:
- Navigate to your LinkedIn homepage.
- Click on the "My Items" link in the left sidebar. This section stores everything you’ve saved, including posts, articles, and jobs.
Currently, LinkedIn does not offer native folders or tags to categorize saved items, but you can manage your saves by:
- Regularly reviewing saved posts to remove outdated or irrelevant content.
- Using the "Unsave" option by clicking on the three dots on the saved post to keep your list clean.
- Bookmarking posts externally using tools like Evernote or Notion if you want more detailed categorization.
