Share articles or links

Last updated: 3 weeks ago

You can share relevant articles or links with your network using the share box at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. You can share an article on your feed directly from the article page.

To share an article or a link from your homepage:

  1. Click Start a post, try writing with AI at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

  2. Paste the link or type the URL in the What do you want to talk about? field.

    • Allow a few seconds for a preview image to display (image frame is a 1.91:1 ratio and 1200 (w) x 627 (h) pixels). If we’re not able to retrieve a preview image, you can still share your update as a link.
    • You may encounter an error message or missing preview information if the URL you’re sharing doesn’t meet certain requirements. Check out our URL troubleshooting guide for tips on successful URL sharing.

    Note: You also have the option of adding text (up to 3000 characters) to your post.

  3. Click the dropdown next to your name in the post pop-up window, select who you want to share the post with in the Post settings pop-up window, and click Done.

  4. Click Post.
