Publish your first LinkedIn post

This walkthrough takes a short LinkedIn post from a blank editor to a verified publishing result.

Before you start

Connect LinkedIn in Settings → Channels. Choose the workspace and account you intend to publish from. If you are writing for a teammate, review the approval workflow first.

Start a post

Choose New → Post in the web app sidebar, or open Create → Content and start a new post. Select your LinkedIn account in the composer.

Write your draft

Enter your text. You can ask Andy to help with a first draft or rewrite. Give it a concrete experience or lesson, then review the generated text for accuracy. LinkedIn posts are limited to 3,000 characters.

Add media if needed

Use the attachment controls to upload or reuse an image. Wait for any upload or carousel preparation to finish. See Add and reuse media.

Preview

Open Preview and inspect the text and attachments. The device views help you check line breaks and layout; the platform controls the final rendering.

Choose the action

Select Post Now when the post is ready. Use Save as Draft to keep working, Schedule Manually for a future time, or Add to Queue for an available posting slot. For a teammate's account, you may see Submit for Approval.

Confirm the result

Open Create → Content and check the post's status. A published post should provide a link or platform result when available. Scheduled, processing, and approval statuses need their next step before the post is live.

If it did not publish

Read the error, check the LinkedIn connection, and confirm the post and media meet the channel requirements. Do not repeat a publish action while the existing one is still processing. See Web App troubleshooting.

Next, plan your calendar or review your results.
