Where LinkedIn stores your saved posts
LinkedIn saves posts you bookmark to a private collection that only you can see. Unlike a like, which appears on your profile and in other people's feeds, a saved post is invisible to everyone except you. You access your saved posts through your profile menu, not through a search or a separate app.
The saved posts feature works the same way across desktop and mobile, though the steps to reach them differ slightly. Your saved collection stays organized by the date you saved each post, with the most recent saves appearing first. LinkedIn does not limit how many posts you can save, so you can build a library as large as you need.
Key Takeaways
- Saved posts are private to you and appear in a dedicated section of your profile menu, not in your main feed or notifications.
- On desktop, you reach saved posts through the "Me" menu in the top navigation bar, then select "Saved items".
- On mobile, tap your profile photo at the bottom of the screen, scroll down, and tap "Saved items".
- You can save a post by clicking the bookmark icon on any post, and the icon will fill in to show the post is saved.
- Saved posts remain in your collection until you unsave them; LinkedIn does not automatically delete them.
Finding saved posts on desktop
Open LinkedIn in a web browser and look at the top right corner of the page. You will see a small circle with your profile photo inside it — this is the "Me" menu. Click on it to open a dropdown list of options.
In that dropdown, you will see "Saved items" listed among the options like "View profile" and "Settings". Click on "Saved items" and LinkedIn will take you to a page showing every post you have bookmarked. The posts appear in reverse chronological order, with your most recent saves at the top. You can scroll through the entire list or use the search box at the top of the page to find a specific post by keyword.
Finding saved posts on mobile
On the LinkedIn mobile app, tap your profile photo at the bottom right of the screen. This opens your profile menu. Scroll down through the menu options until you see "Saved items" — it usually appears near the bottom, below sections like "Connections" and "Following".
Tap "Saved items" and your saved posts will load on a new screen. The layout is the same as on desktop: posts appear newest first, and you can scroll to browse through them. If you are looking for a specific post, use the search icon at the top of the screen to search by keywords or the name of the person who posted it.
How to save a post in the first place
When you see a post in your feed that you want to keep, look for the bookmark icon. On desktop, the bookmark appears in the bottom right corner of the post, next to the share and comment buttons. On mobile, swipe left on the post or tap the three dots menu to reveal the bookmark option.
Click or tap the bookmark icon once, and it will fill in with a solid color to show the post is now saved. You can unsave a post at any time by clicking the bookmark icon again — it will return to an outline. Saving a post does not notify the person who posted it, and the save does not appear anywhere on your profile or in anyone else's feed.
Organizing and searching your saved posts
LinkedIn does not have built-in folders or tags for organizing saved posts, so all your saves go into a single collection. However, you can search within that collection using the search box at the top of your "Saved items" page. Type a keyword, a person's name, a company name, or a topic, and LinkedIn will filter your saved posts to show only matches.
If you save posts regularly, consider adding a note to yourself about why you saved each one. While LinkedIn does not let you add notes directly to saved posts, you can copy the post link and paste it into a document or note-taking app with your own comments. This approach works well if you are saving posts for research, job hunting, or learning purposes and want to remember the context later.
What happens if you delete a post you saved
If the person who posted something deletes their post, it will disappear from your saved collection automatically. You will not see a notification that the post was deleted — it straightforward vanishes from your "Saved items" page. This is why saving a link to the post in a separate document is useful if you think you might need to reference it later.
If you delete your own post, it also disappears from anyone else's saved collection. LinkedIn does not send notifications to people who saved your post to let them know it has been removed. The same applies if you change a post's privacy settings from public to private — people who saved it will no longer see it in their collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can other people see what I have saved?
No. Your saved posts are completely private. No one can see your "Saved items" collection, not even people you are connected with. LinkedIn treats saved posts differently from likes, which are visible on your profile and in other people's feeds.
What if I save a post and then the person makes it private?
If someone changes a post from public to private or deletes it entirely, it will disappear from your saved collection. You will not receive a warning before this happens. If you need to keep a record of the post, copy the link or take a screenshot before the person changes their privacy settings.
Can I sort my saved posts by topic or date?
LinkedIn displays saved posts in reverse chronological order (newest first) and does not offer sorting by topic or category. You can search within your saved posts using keywords, but there is no way to create custom folders or tags. If you need detailed organization, save the links to a spreadsheet or note-taking app instead.
Do saved posts count toward any LinkedIn limits?
No. Saving posts does not affect your profile, your engagement metrics, or any LinkedIn limits. You can save as many posts as you want without any restrictions or consequences.
If I unsave a post, can I find it again?
Once you unsave a post, it leaves your "Saved items" collection. If you want to save it again, you will need to find it in your feed or search for it. The original post remains on LinkedIn unless the person deleted it — you just have to locate it the same way you would find any other post.
