LinkedIn handoff

Edit profile basics and share a post. Plain steps for a student or small business that wants to show the work without handing its voice to a system.

Who it is for

Someone who needs to open LinkedIn, fix the basics on a profile (photo, headline, About), and share a simple post.

Handoff means you can do those jobs without the builder sitting there. Do not write the password on this page.

Steps

  1. Open linkedin.com (or the LinkedIn app) and sign in.
  2. Open your profile (your photo or Me, then View profile).
  3. Edit the basics: photo, headline, and About. Use the pencil icons. Keep the words plain and true.
  4. To share a post, go Home. Click Start a post. Type a short update. Add a photo if you have one. Click Post.
  5. Check who can see the post (Anyone or Connections) before you publish.

Labels move a little between web and app. Stay in the same places: profile, pencil edits, Start a post, and Post.
