Dark & Light Mode

Workplace choices are now on-site, hybrid, remote

You can now select your workplace as on-site, hybrid, or remote when you want to let recruiters or the public know you are open to work.

Posting updates character limit has been increased to 3000 characters

You now have more characters for a post than in the past. Articles can have up to 125,000 characters.

Personal Demographic Data Collection (optional)

LinkedIn is asking you to participate in this initiative so they can make sure that all of the members on the platform have equal access opportunities. Therefore, they are collecting data to find out who, exactly, is using the platform.

Deceased LinkedIn member

If you have the authority to act on behalf of someone who is deceased, you can ask to have their profile closed or memorialize with the words “In remembrance” placed under their name.

Some other features that were rolled out in 2021 are listed in Are You Keeping Tabs on New LinkedIn Innovations? Those featured in that article include Instant Video Meetings, Creator Mode, Cover Story, and the Featured Section was released a year ago but is important.
