Share profile updates with your network

Last updated: 8 months ago

You can choose to notify your network about job changes, education changes, and work anniversaries. Enabling notifications about your profile changes may generate a post in your network’s feed, an in-app notification, or an email notification.

To adjust notifications sent to your network about profile changes:
  1. Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown.
  3. Click the Visibility tab on the left.
  4. Under Visibility of your LinkedIn activity, click Share profile updates with your network.

  5. Switch the toggle to On to share your profile edits or Off to stop sharing your profile edits.

    • Your changes will be saved automatically.
You can also adjust your notification preferences while you’re making changes to your profile from a computer by using the toggle in the Share with network section.
Important:
  • Updates about your job may take up to two hours to be shared with your network and updates to your education can take up to 24 hours to be shared with your network. Work anniversary notifications are sent within that month.

  • If you've two or more current work experiences starting in the same month listed on your profile, then only one Work anniversary notification will be sent. The notification will be for the work anniversary with the shortest anniversary window. 

  • Editing or deleting the update after adding it may affect the notification generation.
  • Even if you’ve enabled sharing, some types of profile edits won’t generate notifications to your network. You can adjust notification settings for job changes, promotions, education changes, and work anniversaries.
  • Anyone that views your profile will see your edits as soon as you save them, even if you haven’t chosen to notify your network about any changes you make.
