How to schedule LinkedIn posts (profiles and Pages)

The short version

LinkedIn's own scheduler works for both personal profiles and company Pages, up to 3 months ahead, for free. You only need a tool if you want LinkedIn in the same calendar as your other networks, or need to schedule a format LinkedIn won't (see below).

Schedule a post from your profile

1. On desktop, click Start a post. On mobile, tap Post.
2. Write your post, then click the Clock icon.
3. Pick a date and time, at least 10 minutes and at most 3 months away.
4. Click Next, then Schedule.

LinkedIn's help articles disagree on exactly where the Clock icon sits, so look for the clock in the composer rather than a particular corner.

See, edit or move scheduled posts

Open the Create a post window, click the Clock icon, then View all scheduled posts (on mobile: View all). On any post, open More, then choose Modify schedule or Edit post.

Schedule a post on a LinkedIn Page

Super admins and content admins can schedule Page posts, and newsletter articles, from 1 hour to 3 months ahead. Admins can see, edit, reschedule and delete posts that other admins scheduled.

What LinkedIn won't schedule

• Personal profiles: events and jobs.
• Pages: events, posts with multiple photos, reshares, polls, jobs and service posts.

A scheduled Page post also can't be promoted through Campaign Manager until it has been published.

When a scheduler is worth it

If LinkedIn is your only network, the built-in scheduler is enough. A scheduler earns its place when you post the same idea to LinkedIn, X, Threads and others, and want one calendar instead of five. LinkedIn posts allow 3,000 characters: the character counter checks a draft against LinkedIn and every other network at once.
