You scheduled a LinkedIn post, then noticed a typo. Or you want to swap the image. Or the timing is wrong.
Good news: you can edit scheduled posts on LinkedIn. You can change the text, replace media, and adjust the scheduled time. All from the same menu where you originally scheduled it. This works for both personal profiles and LinkedIn Pages.
Can You Edit a Scheduled Post on LinkedIn? (Quick Answer)
Yes. You can edit the text, swap images or videos, and change the scheduled date/time. This works for both personal profiles and LinkedIn Pages.
LinkedIn rolled out scheduled post editing in mid-2024, and it works across all account types. The steps are slightly different for Pages (you access scheduled posts through the Page admin view instead of the regular composer), but both let you fully edit content before it goes live.
How to Edit a Scheduled Post on Desktop
Step 1 - Open the post composer
Go to your LinkedIn homepage and click Start a post. The composer window opens.
Step 2 - Open your scheduled posts
Look for the Clock icon at the bottom-left of the composer (next to the scheduling options).

Click it, then click View all scheduled posts.

You'll see a list of every post you've scheduled but haven't published yet.
Step 3 - Edit the post
Find the post you want to change. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the right side of the post. You'll see three options:
- Edit post - opens the post in the editor so you can change text, add or remove media, and adjust formatting
- Modify schedule - changes the date and time without touching the content
- Delete - removes the post entirely
Click Edit post, make your changes, then click Schedule to save.
Editing media in a scheduled post
You can change images and videos too. Inside the editor, click the X on the existing attachment to remove it, then upload a new file. LinkedIn doesn't let you crop or edit the image in place. You need to remove and re-upload.
If your post is a document/carousel, the same applies: remove the existing file and upload the updated version.
How to Edit a Scheduled Post on Mobile
Step 1 - Open the scheduler
Open the LinkedIn app and tap the + button, then tap Post. In the composer, tap the clock icon in the top-right area. This opens your scheduled posts list.
Step 2 - Find and edit
Scroll to find the post you want to change. Tap the three-dot menu next to it and select Edit Post.
Make your changes (text, media, or both), then tap Schedule to save the updated version.
The mobile editing experience is the same as desktop. You can change text, replace images or videos, and adjust formatting. The only difference is the screen layout.
How to Edit a Scheduled Post on a LinkedIn Page
The steps for LinkedIn Pages are slightly different from personal profiles. You need to access your scheduled posts through the Page admin view instead of the regular composer.
On desktop:
- Go to your Page's super admin or content admin view
- Click Page posts in the left menu
- Click Start a post to open the composer preview
- Click the scheduling icon in the lower right to open the Schedule post dialog
- Click View all scheduled posts
- Click the More icon next to the post you want to change
- Click Edit post and modify the content
- Click Schedule to save
On mobile:
- Go to your Page's super admin or content admin view
- Tap Dashboard in the upper-left corner and select Page posts
- Tap Post in the upper-right corner to open the composer preview
- Tap the scheduling icon in the upper-right corner
- Tap View all
- Tap the More icon on the post you want to edit
- Tap Edit post and modify the content
- Tap Schedule to save
If you're managing a Page with multiple admins, keep in mind that any admin with posting access can edit scheduled posts. It's worth coordinating with your team so edits don't overlap. Using AuthoredUp's drafts and calendar view can help keep everyone aligned on what's scheduled and when.
How to Reschedule a Post (Change the Time Only)
If the content is fine but the timing is wrong, you don't need to edit the post at all. Rescheduling is simpler and works for both personal profiles and Pages.
On desktop:
- Open the post composer, click the Clock icon, then View all scheduled posts
- Click the three-dot menu on the post
- Select Modify schedule
- Pick a new date and time
- Click Schedule
On mobile:
- Open the composer, tap the Clock icon
- Tap the three-dot menu on the post
- Select Modify schedule
- Adjust the date/time and confirm
You can reschedule a post as many times as you want. There's no limit. Just keep it within LinkedIn's scheduling window (up to 3 months in advance).
Troubleshooting: Can't Edit a Scheduled Post?
"Edit post" isn't showing up
If you don't see the Edit option in the three-dot menu, make sure you're running the latest version of the LinkedIn app or try from desktop. The editing feature has been updated multiple times since it launched, and older versions may not show the full set of options.
The app doesn't show scheduled posts
Make sure you're running the latest version of the LinkedIn app. The scheduling and editing features have been updated multiple times since they launched. An outdated app version may not display the full menu. Update through the App Store or Google Play.
You edited the post but changes didn't save
After making edits, you need to click Schedule (not just close the editor). If you close without confirming, the edits are lost. There's no autosave for scheduled post edits.
The post already published
Once a scheduled post goes live, it follows different editing rules. Published LinkedIn posts can be edited (text only, no media swaps on most post types), but the process is different from editing scheduled posts. You edit a published post from the post itself in your feed, not from the scheduler. See our guide on writing LinkedIn posts for more on post formatting and planning.
Do Scheduled Posts Get Less Reach on LinkedIn?
No. There's a long-running myth that scheduled posts are penalized by LinkedIn's algorithm, but there's no evidence to support it.
A scheduled post and a manually published post go through the same distribution process. LinkedIn doesn't flag or suppress content based on whether you clicked "Post" or "Schedule." The algorithm cares about the content, the engagement it gets in the first hour, and how relevant it is to your audience. Not how it was published.
If you're scheduling posts to post consistently at the right times, you're likely improving your reach compared to posting whenever you happen to be online.
FAQ: Editing Scheduled LinkedIn Posts
Can you edit a scheduled post on LinkedIn?
Yes. Open the post composer, click the Clock icon, select "View all scheduled posts," then click the three-dot menu and choose "Edit post." This works for both personal profiles and LinkedIn Pages.
Can you edit images in a scheduled LinkedIn post?
Yes. Open the scheduled post for editing, click the X on the current image to remove it, then upload a new one. You can't crop or edit the image in place. You have to remove and re-upload.
Can you edit a scheduled LinkedIn Page post?
Yes. Go to your Page's admin view, click "Page posts" in the left menu, then open the composer and click the scheduling icon to find "View all scheduled posts." From there, use the More icon to select "Edit post." The steps are slightly different from personal profiles, but you get the same editing options.
Can I reschedule a post after editing it?
Yes. After editing the content, you can also change the scheduled time. Click "Modify schedule" from the three-dot menu and pick a new date and time. You can also reschedule without editing the content.
Do scheduled posts get fewer views on LinkedIn?
No. There's no evidence that LinkedIn's algorithm treats scheduled posts differently from manually published posts. Both go through the same distribution process. Scheduling can actually help your reach by ensuring you post at optimal times consistently.
What happens if I delete a scheduled post?
The post is removed permanently. There's no undo or recycle bin. If you think you might want the content later, copy the text before deleting.
How many posts can I schedule on LinkedIn at once?
LinkedIn doesn't publish an official limit for personal profiles. In practice, you can have multiple posts queued. LinkedIn Pages can schedule posts up to 3 months in advance. For managing a larger content pipeline, tools like AuthoredUp let you save unlimited drafts and plan posts on a calendar without being limited by LinkedIn's native scheduler.
Can I schedule and edit posts with third-party tools?
Yes. Tools like AuthoredUp let you draft, format, preview, and schedule LinkedIn posts. Editing a scheduled post in AuthoredUp works the same way: find the post in your queue, make changes, and save. The advantage is that you can preview exactly how the post will look in the feed before scheduling, which reduces the need to edit after the fact.
