Short answer

Click Start a post, then the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts. For a Company Page, do the same from the Page's admin view, under Page posts. From the list you can edit a scheduled post, change its time, publish it now (on a Page) or delete it.

Scheduled posts on your profile

  • On desktop: click Start a post, then the clock icon in the post box (a badge shows how many posts are waiting), then View all scheduled posts.
  • On mobile: tap Post, then the clock icon, then View all.

Click a post to preview it. Its More menu has Edit post and Modify schedule, and the Delete icon removes it after you confirm.

Scheduled posts on a Company Page

  1. 1Go to your Page's super admin or content admin view (on mobile, the Page Dashboard).
  2. 2Open Page posts and click Start a post.
  3. 3Click the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts.
  4. 4Open a post's More menu: Post now, Edit post, Modify schedule or Delete post.

Edit post changes the post itself, who can see it, who can comment and the brand partnership label. Every admin can act on posts another admin scheduled, and if an admin is removed, their scheduled posts move to whoever removed them. A deleted scheduled post can't be recovered, so copy the text first if you might want it back.

Changing the time, and the limits that apply

Modify schedule takes the same limits as scheduling in the first place. On a profile, the new time has to be at least 10 minutes away; on a Page, at least an hour; and on both, no more than 3 months ahead. LinkedIn converts the time to UTC from your device's time zone, so if you travel or change the setting, check the time shown above the post before you save it.

To publish a scheduled Page post straight away, use Post now from its More menu. A profile's scheduled list doesn't list that option, so change the time to the nearest slot or delete the post and share it again. While you are still writing a post, Edit next to the time and then Clear time removes the schedule before you save it.

Posts scheduled in another tool

LinkedIn's API can only publish a post immediately, so a scheduling tool holds your post and sends it at the time you chose. Until then it isn't in LinkedIn's scheduled list: find, edit or cancel it in that tool. In PostDaily, scheduled LinkedIn posts are on the calendar and in each channel's queue (plan with the calendar).

Why a scheduled post is missing

  • You are looking in the wrong place. Posts scheduled as a Page are in the Page's admin view, not under your profile's clock icon.
  • It was scheduled in a tool. It waits there until it publishes.
  • It was deleted. LinkedIn can't restore a deleted scheduled post.
  • You want to boost it. A scheduled Page post can't be picked in Campaign Manager until it is published.

To schedule the next one, see how to schedule a LinkedIn post, and for who can post as a Page, scheduling LinkedIn Company Page posts.

Scheduled post questions

Can you edit a scheduled post on LinkedIn?

Yes. Open your scheduled posts from the clock icon, open the post's More menu and choose Edit post. Modify schedule changes the time.

Where do I find scheduled posts for my LinkedIn Page?

In the Page's admin view: Page posts, Start a post, the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts.

Can another admin change my scheduled Page post?

Yes. Page admins can edit, reschedule, publish or delete posts that other admins scheduled.
