Manage, share, or duplicate LinkedIn article drafts

Last updated: 2 months ago

Your article is automatically saved as a draft as soon as you start writing. You can access your saved draft at any time to edit, publish, or delete it.

You can share drafts of your articles with other members to get feedback on the content, before sharing it on LinkedIn.

You can also duplicate drafts to quickly create a copy of the existing page, if you'd like to publish an article in the same format.

Important to know

Article formatting may appear differently after publishing. This feature isn’t available on LinkedIn mobile app.

To manage saved drafts of your articles:

  1. Click the Manage dropdown near the upper right of the publishing tool and select Drafts.

  2. From the Drafts section in the Articles pop-up window, you can:

    • Click on the article to continue working on it
    • Click on the  More icon on the right to  Edit or  Delete the article.
