LinkedIn saved posts: where they go, and how to find them again
The short answer: your saved posts are at linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/. But that list is a pile of bookmarks, not a library: you can't search it, you can't export it, and a post vanishes from it the moment its author deletes it. If a post is worth keeping, keep your own copy, with the link, somewhere you can search.
How to save a post, and where it goes
- Click the three dots at the top right of the post and choose Save.
- On a computer, open linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/, or click Saved itemsunder your profile card on the home feed. Bookmark that link; it's the quickest way back.
- In the app, tap your profile photo, open your profile and find Saved posts under Resources.
Why the saved list stops being useful
Saving works fine for a week. After a few months you have hundreds of saves and the list has three problems:
- No search. You can only scroll, newest first. Finding the post about pricing you saved in March means scrolling past everything since.
- No copy. A save points at the original post. If the author deletes it, your save goes with it.
- No context.Nothing records why you saved it, and nothing brings it back when you're working on the thing it was relevant to.
How to keep the posts worth keeping
Don't try to save everything. The posts worth keeping are the ones with an idea you'll want when you're working on something specific: a framework, a number, an argument you disagree with. For those:
- Keep the text, not just the link.Copy the post into your notes with the author's name and the link, so it survives if the post doesn't.
- Keep it where the rest of your notes are. A LinkedIn post about hiring is most useful next to your own notes about hiring, not in a separate list you never open.
- Export what you've already saved. Browser extensions can scroll your saved list and download it as a CSV or Markdown file. Do it once, import it into your notes, and you have a searchable archive of everything so far.
Where Digital Notebook fits
With the Digital Notebook browser extension, you right-click a LinkedIn post and choose save. It keeps the post's text, the author and a link back, with no copying and pasting, and posts from the same person gather in one note. Because it's a copy, it stays if the post is deleted.
Then it does the part the saved list can't: when you're writing about something a saved post covered, that passage appears beside what you're writing. You can also search your saves by meaning, so “how to price a service” finds the post that never used the word “price”.
What to know:the extension works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and Comet, and for now you install it from our site rather than the Chrome Web Store. It saves one post at a time as you find it; it doesn't import your existing LinkedIn saved list.
Common questions
Where are my saved posts on LinkedIn?
On a computer, go to linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/, or click Saved items under your profile card on the home feed. In the app, tap your profile photo, open your profile and find Saved posts under Resources.
Why did a post disappear from my saved posts?
A save is a bookmark to the original post, not a copy. If the author deletes the post, or it is removed, it disappears from your saved list and there is nothing left to recover.
Can I search my LinkedIn saved posts?
No. The saved list can only be scrolled, newest first, and LinkedIn's main search does not look inside your saves. To search them you need a copy somewhere else.
Can I export my LinkedIn saved posts?
LinkedIn has no export button for saved posts. Browser extensions can collect the list into a CSV or Markdown file, or you can save each post somewhere else as you find it.
