The challenges of LinkedIn's saved posts
LinkedIn is a professional networking platform designed to help individuals connect and grow their professional networks. Users can create profiles, share their work experiences, and engage with industry content.
And when it comes to LinkedIn content, I (like many other professionals) want to save posts from LinkedIn to revisit later.
However, the current system for saving and accessing saved posts could be more user-friendly. Many users find themselves struggling to efficiently manage their LinkedIn saved posts – facing challenges both in the (1) saving process and in (2) retrieving them later.
This guide is written to help you navigate the process of both saving LinkedIn posts and finding LinkedIn posts through an interactive tutorial.

This would allow professionals to more effectively curate and revisit valuable content on the platform.
