LinkedIn saved posts: where they go, and how to find them again

How to save a post, and where it goes

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:

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:

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.
