Where are saved posts on LinkedIn?
On desktop, saved posts sit under Saved Items in the left pane of your LinkedIn homepage; in the app, they are behind your profile picture. LinkedIn's Save content in your feed help page, shown as updated two years ago when we checked on 4 November 2026, gives these steps:
Open Saved Items
Click Saved Items on the left pane of your LinkedIn homepage.
Choose Saved posts and articles
Click Saved posts and articles from the list under Saved items.
Start from your profile picture
Tap your profile picture, then tap Saved posts.
If you can't see those labels, the live interface may have moved on from a two-year-old page. Some users and guides call the same page My Items: an August 2025 r/linkedin thread asked whether LinkedIn had removed saved posts from the My Items page, and AuthoredUp's June 2026 guide gives the direct address linkedin.com/my-items/saved-posts/. Right after you save something, the quickest route back is the banner LinkedIn briefly shows, which includes a View Saved Posts link.
How do you save or unsave a post on LinkedIn?
Use the More icon at the upper right of the post, then choose Save. The same icon unsaves it from your saved list. Here are the help page's steps side by side:
| Action | Desktop | Mobile app |
|---|---|---|
| Save | Click the More icon on the upper right of the post, then Save | Tap the More icon at the upper right, then Save |
| Confirmation | A banner briefly appears on the lower left with a link to View Saved Posts | A banner briefly appears at the top or bottom of the screen with the same link |
| Unsave | In Saved posts and articles, click the More icon on the item, then Unsave | In Saved posts, tap the More icon on the item, then Unsave |
Some feed items can't be saved at all. The help page names jobs recommended for you, follow recommendations, and work anniversary and profile change updates. To keep a job, open it and use the Save button on the job details page instead.
Where do saved jobs, courses and drafts go?
Not to Saved posts. If the thing you saved was a job, a course or your own draft, each has its own place. Every row comes from LinkedIn's help centre, checked 4 November 2026:
| What you saved | Where to find it | Limit LinkedIn states |
|---|---|---|
| Posts and articles from your feed | Desktop: Saved Items, then Saved posts and articles. App: profile picture, then Saved posts | None given on the help page |
| Jobs | Desktop: Jobs, then Job tracker in the left rail, Saved tab. App: Jobs icon, Job tracker, Saved tab | 2,000 saved and archived jobs, and no way to unsave several at once |
| LinkedIn Learning courses | Desktop: your photo at the upper right of the Learning homepage, then Saved. Learning app: My Courses tab, Saved section | No limit, LinkedIn says |
| Your own unfinished post | Saved as a draft by clicking Cancel while writing, then Save as draft; it opens for editing the next time you start a post | None given; drafts sync across devices |
| Your own scheduled post | Managed from the post composer | None given |
If you were looking for a post you wrote and published, it isn't in any of these. Open your profile, go to the Activity section and click Posts. LinkedIn's help says the Activity page shows content up to two years old.
Are LinkedIn saved posts private?
The author can see how many times members saved a post; the LinkedIn help pages we checked on 4 November 2026 describe no way to see who saved it. LinkedIn's post analytics help (shown as updated two months before our check) lists Saves among the numbers an author sees, defined as the number of times members saved the post, and says post analytics are private to the author. It describes saves only as a count, and the help page on saving says nothing about telling the author who saved.
Two things follow. A save is quieter than a comment: the analytics help describes the author seeing a count of saves, while a comment shows your name under the post. And saving your own post adds to its count, because the same page says your own saves are counted towards your analytics. Save other people's posts freely; don't save your own to pad the number.
How do you save an image or document from a LinkedIn post?
Saving a post adds it to your list; it doesn't give you the image file. LinkedIn's photo sharing help covers uploading, editing, tagging and alt text for photos, and describes no download option for people viewing them. Documents are different: LinkedIn's document help says that, for accessibility, members who can view a document post can download it as a PDF.
For someone else's image, ask. LinkedIn's User Agreement, effective 3 November 2025, lists copying, using, displaying or distributing content obtained from LinkedIn without the consent of the content owner among its don'ts. A short message does it. An example, with a sample name:
For your own photos, videos and documents, LinkedIn's data download (next section) includes a Rich Media file with links to the photos, videos and documents you shared.
Why are my saved posts missing, and how do I get a full list?
Missing saves are a recurring complaint. Four r/linkedin threads from January 2025 to April 2026 between them report two problems and some workarounds; this is what those threads say, not proof of how LinkedIn works:
- No folders, search or tags. A January 2025 thread complained of no folders and no categories, and in an April 2026 thread someone with more than 400 saved posts described no search, no tags and no folders, just an infinite scroll.
- Saves going missing. In another April 2026 thread, someone with well over 100 saved posts found most of them gone, though the posts were still on the authors' profiles; two commenters said they could see only 10 posts. In the August 2025 thread, one reply said all their saved items were gone.
- Workarounds. One commenter in the thread about 400+ saves wrote: "I stopped using LinkedIn saves and just copy the post link into a running note with 2-3 keywords". The top reply in the January 2025 thread suggested browser bookmarks. In the April 2026 missing-saves thread, one reply said they fixed it by keeping the account open on a laptop and a phone at the same time, so the saved items synchronise. Two replies in the 400+ saves thread came from people who had built tools to organise saves, so weigh tool tips accordingly.
For a list you control, use LinkedIn's Download your data page (shown as updated four weeks before our check). It lists a Saved Items file containing the saved date and URL of each post, article or other content. The page says this isn't available on mobile, so use a computer:
Open Settings & Privacy
Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage and select Settings & Privacy.
Find Download your data
Click Data Privacy on the left rail, then Download your data under How LinkedIn uses your data.
Request the archive
Select the data you want and click Request archive. LinkedIn lists Saved Items among the data available within 48 hours, and the download link stays live for 72 hours.
Since LinkedIn describes the file as dates and URLs, add a keyword column of your own so you can search it. The same download includes a Connections file, if you also want a list of your network (see our guide to exporting your LinkedIn connections). One note on limits: AuthoredUp's guide cites LinkedIn's help centre for there being no cap on saved items, but the help page it links gave no number either way when we checked. The only saving cap we found in LinkedIn's help is the 2,000 for jobs.
How can a founder use saved posts for content and leads?
Use the save button as an inbox: save freely during the week, then empty it every Friday into a sheet you control. Here is the sheet we suggest for a small B2B team:
Each tag leads somewhere. Idea rows feed your posts, and our guide to LinkedIn post ideas for founders shows how one line from a sales call becomes four posts. Prospect rows already carry a reason to reach out, the post itself. To find more people like them, our guide to finding leads on LinkedIn without Sales Navigator shows how to search posts for the same problem. Before you message anyone from a Competitor row, read what to say, and what to skip, with people engaging with a competitor.
If most of what you save is prospects, that part can be handed off. Siela's Lead Finder can track keywords and competitors on LinkedIn and X, so people engaging with them become leads, and saves each lead to the built-in CRM with the reason it was picked. With Find leads only, it saves leads and sends nothing.
Frequently asked questions
When I save a LinkedIn post, where does it go?
Into your saved list. LinkedIn's help centre places it under Saved Items on the left of the desktop homepage, as Saved posts and articles; in the app, tap your profile picture, then Saved posts. Right after you save, a banner with a View Saved Posts link appears for a moment, which is the fastest way back to it.
Can someone see if I save their LinkedIn post?
The author can see how many times a post was saved, because Saves is one of the numbers in LinkedIn's post analytics, which only the author sees. LinkedIn's analytics help describes saves purely as a count, and its help page on saving says nothing about telling the author who saved the post.
How do I save a photo from a LinkedIn post?
Save the post to keep it in your list, and ask the owner if you need the image file itself. LinkedIn's User Agreement says not to copy, use, display or distribute content from LinkedIn without the owner's consent. Document posts are the exception for downloads: LinkedIn says people who can view them can download them as a PDF.
Is there a limit to how many posts you can save on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn's help page on saving posts doesn't give one, as of 4 November 2026. Its jobs help caps saved and archived jobs at 2,000, and its Learning help says there's no limit on saved courses. If your saved list seems short, request the Saved Items file from LinkedIn's data download, which lists the saved date and URL of each item.
Why can't I find Saved Items on LinkedIn?
The help page, last updated two years before our November 2026 check, still puts Saved Items in the left pane of the desktop homepage, and the live interface may differ. Some users and guides call the same page My Items. On mobile, start from your profile picture. If saves seem to have vanished, the data download lists saved items by date and URL.
How do I unsave a post on LinkedIn?
Open your saved list, click or tap the More icon at the upper right of the post, and choose Unsave. LinkedIn's help gives the same steps for desktop and the app. Jobs are separate: unsave them from the Saved tab in Job tracker, one at a time, since LinkedIn says there is currently no way to unsave several at once.
