Can I Schedule LinkedIn Posts? Yes, Here's How

Yes, you can schedule LinkedIn posts. LinkedIn has a built-in scheduler: write a post, click the clock icon, pick a date and time, and confirm. Per LinkedIn Help, you can schedule between 10 minutes and 3 months ahead. This guide is part of our social media content scheduling guide.

How to schedule a LinkedIn post on desktop

To schedule a LinkedIn post on desktop, start a post, click the clock icon in the lower-right corner, choose a date and time, then click Next and Schedule. These steps follow LinkedIn's official instructions for personal profiles.

1. Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2. Write your post in the What do you want to talk about? field.
3. Click the clock icon in the lower-right corner of the window.
4. Pick a date and time in the Schedule post window.
5. Click Next and check the time shown above your post.
6. Click Schedule.

You can type a specific time instead of choosing from the 30-minute steps, according to the same help page.

How to schedule a LinkedIn post on mobile

On the LinkedIn mobile app, tap Post in the navigation bar, write your post, tap the clock icon in the upper-right corner, choose a date and time, then tap Next and Schedule. This is the flow in LinkedIn Help. If you do not see the clock, update the app first.

Limits of LinkedIn's native scheduler

LinkedIn's scheduler accepts times from 10 minutes to 3 months ahead, and it cannot schedule Events or Jobs posts. LinkedIn Help also says the time you pick is converted to UTC based on your device's time zone setting.

LinkedIn's help page lists only Events and Jobs as posts you can't schedule; it does not say whether polls, documents or multi-image posts can be scheduled, so test one before you queue a week.

Company Pages have their own, stricter rules: LinkedIn Help for Pages says Page posts need to be at least one hour out and lists multiple photos, polls and reshares as not schedulable. Those rules apply to Pages, not personal profiles.

Where to find scheduled posts on LinkedIn

To find your scheduled LinkedIn posts, click Start a post, click the clock icon, then choose View all scheduled posts. On mobile, tap Post, tap the clock icon, then tap View all. LinkedIn Help describes both paths.

On desktop, a small badge next to the clock icon shows how many posts are queued. The Scheduled posts page then lists each one.

How to edit, reschedule or delete a scheduled post

Open your scheduled posts, select a post, then use the More icon to choose Modify schedule or Edit post. To remove one, use the Delete icon and confirm in the "Delete scheduled post?" window. This comes from LinkedIn Help.

You can also change the time before you commit: open the clock icon, update the time, then click Next and Schedule. To turn a draft back into an unscheduled one, choose Edit next to the time and then Clear time.

Can you schedule posts for a LinkedIn company page?

Yes, LinkedIn lets super admins and content admins schedule Page posts, from one hour to three months ahead, per LinkedIn Help for Pages. That is a separate feature from personal profile scheduling, and you use it from the Page's own admin view.

Do scheduled posts do well on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn does not publish data comparing scheduled posts with posts published live, so no one outside LinkedIn can give you an official number. A scheduled post publishes at the time you set, as a normal post.

Taplio suggests habits to keep scheduled posts performing like live ones: put the value in the first two lines, and reply to comments within the first hour.

Choosing a scheduler

LinkedIn's built-in tool is free and enough for one profile. A third-party scheduler helps once you post to several networks or want a shared calendar. SociaHive schedules to LinkedIn personal profiles, not company Pages; its free plan includes 30 scheduled posts a month on every platform it supports except X.

Before you schedule, check LinkedIn post sizes so your images are not cropped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit to how many posts you can schedule on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's help page does not state a maximum number of scheduled posts. It does set the time window, from 10 minutes to 3 months ahead. If you queue many posts and hit an error, check the Scheduled posts page and remove old items.

Why can't I see the schedule option on LinkedIn?

The clock icon appears in the post composer, so open Start a post first. If it is missing, update the app or try desktop. Events and Jobs posts cannot be scheduled, so the option does not apply to them. Company Page scheduling needs a super admin or content admin role.

What is the 4-1-1 rule on LinkedIn?

The 4-1-1 rule is a content-mix rule of thumb from marketing blogs, not a LinkedIn rule. One common version: of every six posts, four share other people's content, one is your own and one is promotional. Treat it as a starting ratio and adjust it to what your audience responds to.

Can a teammate edit my scheduled posts?

LinkedIn's help page describes scheduled posts only for your own profile. For business pages, Taplio reports that each admin can only manage their own scheduled posts, with no shared calendar and no edit access between teammates. If several people need one queue, a scheduler with team features is the usual workaround.
