LinkedIn Scheduling Limitations

Once you schedule a post on LinkedIn, you won't be able to make any changes to it. Therefore, it is important to proofread your content before scheduling it.

Luckily, you can use some LinkedIn tools, such as AuthoredUp, that can assist with this.

Post Preview Generator is a free tool that allows you to see how your post will appear on both mobile and desktop screens once it's published on LinkedIn.

This tool can help you ensure that your post looks the way you want it to.

Even though LinkedIn doesn't have a built-in feature that allows you to edit a scheduled post directly, don’t panic! 

If you want to change anything, there are two options open for you:

1. Delete and Reschedule

2. Use Third-Party Tools—Tools like AuthoredUp can be a valuable asset for managing your LinkedIn presence and achieving your social media goals.

Note 💡

At this time, the following post types are not supported for scheduling:

• Events
• Jobs
• Services

Another thing to keep in mind is that posts cannot be rescheduled once they are scheduled.
