How to schedule LinkedIn posts (and see or edit them later)

LinkedIn has a scheduler built into its post box, so you don't need another app just to post later. This guide shows how to use it on a computer and on your phone, where to find the posts you've scheduled, how to change or delete them, and the limits worth knowing. LinkedIn's steps and rules below were checked against LinkedIn Help in October 2026.

How to schedule LinkedIn posts on a computer

These are the steps from LinkedIn Help:

1. On your LinkedIn homepage, click Start a post.
2. Write your post and add any photos or a video.
3. Click the clock icon at the bottom right of the post box.
4. Pick a date and time, then click Next. You can choose one of the 30-minute slots in the list or type an exact time.
5. Check the scheduled time shown above your post, then click Schedule.

A small confirmation appears at the bottom left of the screen. The time you pick can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 months from now.

In the LinkedIn mobile app

1. Tap Post in the navigation bar.
2. Write your post.
3. Tap the clock icon at the top right.
4. Choose a date and time, then tap Next.
5. Check the time above your post and tap Schedule.

How to see scheduled posts on LinkedIn

On a computer, click Start a post, then the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts at the bottom left. When you have posts waiting, the clock icon shows a small badge with how many there are.

In the app, tap Post, then the clock icon, then View all.

Open any post in the list to preview it.

How to edit a scheduled LinkedIn post or delete it

To change a post that's already scheduled:

1. Open your scheduled posts as described above.
2. Select the More icon at the top right.
3. Choose Edit post to change what it says, or Modify schedule to pick a new time.

To delete a scheduled post, click or tap the Delete icon next to it and confirm.

If you change your mind before you've clicked Schedule, click Edit next to the time above your post, then Clear time. You can then post it right away or discard it.

LinkedIn's scheduling limits

The first four rows come from LinkedIn's scheduling page. The length limit comes from Post and share updates, which suggests writing an article instead when you need more than 3,000 characters. The photo rules come from Share photos on LinkedIn.

The time zone row matters when you travel. LinkedIn reads the time zone from your device, so check the time shown above the post before you click Schedule.

Company Pages work differently. If you're a super admin or content admin of a Page, you schedule from the Page itself, anywhere from an hour to three months ahead. LinkedIn doesn't let Pages schedule events, multiple photos, reshares, polls, jobs or service posts.

When a scheduler app helps

LinkedIn's own scheduler comes with the regular post box and does the job if LinkedIn is the only place you post. A separate scheduling app starts to earn its place when:

• You share the same idea on LinkedIn and other networks, and you'd rather write it once and adjust it for each one. Our guide to posting to all your networks at once shows how that works.
• You want one calendar with your LinkedIn posts next to Instagram, TikTok and the rest, so you can spot gaps and clashes.
• You want your phone to tell you when a post goes live, or when one needs attention.
• You plan in batches and want drafts, saved settings and a calendar where you can drag posts around.

Stay with LinkedIn's own tools for polls, documents, events, newsletters, posts with more than 9 photos, and company Pages. Unisenda doesn't post those.

How to schedule LinkedIn posts in Unisenda

Unisenda is the scheduler we make. On LinkedIn it posts to personal profiles: text, up to 9 photos, or one video between 3 seconds and 30 minutes, visible to anyone or to your connections only.

1. Open Connections, tick the box to agree to the terms, and choose Connect LinkedIn. Approve on LinkedIn's own screen. Back in Unisenda, your profile is already ticked, so choose Connect 1 account. Unisenda never asks for your LinkedIn password, and nothing is posted when you connect.
2. Click Create post and select your LinkedIn profile, plus any other accounts that should get the same post.
3. Write your text under All networks. To give LinkedIn its own version, open your LinkedIn profile's tab and write it there. The counter shows how much of the 3,000 characters you've used.
4. Add up to 9 photos or one video, from your device or the Media library. The LinkedIn tab notes that photos need to be JPEGs of up to 5 MB each.
5. In the same tab, set Visibility to Anyone or Connections only. Unisenda flags the post until you've chosen.
6. Click Schedule for, pick the date and time in your own time zone, and click Schedule.

Your post now shows up in the Calendar. In the Week view you can drag it to another day or hour, with Undo if you slip. Open it to change the text or the time; it stays scheduled.

At the set time, the post goes out from Unisenda's servers, so your computer can be off. You get a result for each account with a link to the live post, plus a phone notification if you've turned them on in Settings → Notifications. If you later need to take a published LinkedIn post down, Unisenda deletes it for you.

You can try writing and scheduling a post in the demo. It uses sample accounts and never publishes anything.

Tips for scheduled LinkedIn posts

• Pick the audience first. Visibility is locked once the post is out, so choose between Anyone and Connections only while you schedule.
• Check the time when you travel. LinkedIn's scheduler uses your device's time zone. Unisenda shows the time zone it's using when you pick a time.
• Mind the length. 3,000 characters is LinkedIn's ceiling. If you're adapting a post from a shorter network, the character limits guide has every network side by side.
• Make it easy to scan. To style a few words in bold or italic, or add a bullet or numbered list, try the free LinkedIn text formatter.
• Size photos for the feed. LinkedIn asks for photos at least 552 × 276 pixels, recommends 1,080 pixels wide, and accepts shapes from 3:1 (wide) to 4:5 (tall). Wider photos get cropped.
• Plan the week, not only the post. Scheduling works best when you write several posts in one sitting and spread them out. Here's how to plan a month of posts in one afternoon, including how to think about posting times. If you want data on when to post, see the best time to post on LinkedIn, or see the studies' times on your own clock with the free best time to post tool.
• Be around when it goes live. A scheduled post still starts a conversation, and the replies are part of it.
