How to Check My Posts on LinkedIn

Ever hit 'post' on LinkedIn and then feel a brief moment of panic as it disappears into the feed, wondering where exactly it went? You're not alone. The constant scroll can make it feel like your content is just gone, making it difficult to check for comments, see how it's performing, or even fix that typo you noticed one second too late. This guide cuts through the confusion and shows you exactly how to find, manage, and review all of your posts, from recent updates to older content you might have forgotten about.

Finding Your Posts: The Quick and Easy Method

First things first, let's find that post you just published. LinkedIn makes this fairly straightforward once you know where to look. Both the desktop site and mobile app have a central spot for tracking your activity.

On a Desktop Computer: Your Profile is Your Home Base

If you're on your laptop or desktop, your profile page is the fastest route to your content history. It only takes a few clicks. For businesses looking to establish their presence, knowing how to create a company page on LinkedIn is a great first step.

• Step 1: Go to Your Profile. Log in to LinkedIn and click on your profile picture or the "Me" icon in the top navigation bar. From the dropdown menu, select "View Profile."
• Step 2: Find the "Activity" Section. Scroll down a bit on your profile page. Just below your main bio and the "Analytics" box, you'll see a section titled "Activity." This is your personal command center for everything you do on the platform.
• Step 3: Access All Your Posts. Your Activity box will show a few of your most recent interactions. To see everything, click on "Show all activity" at the bottom of the box.
• Step 4: Filter Your Activity. You'll now see a full feed of your activity - comments you've made, likes, and, of course, your posts. To clean up the view and see only your own content, click on the "Posts" filter at the top of the activity feed. Voila! A reverse-chronological list of everything you've ever posted.

On the LinkedIn Mobile App: A Few Taps Away

The process is just as simple on your phone, though the layout is slightly different. If you're checking your posts on the go, here's how to do it.

• Step 1: Open Your Profile. Tap your small profile picture in the top-left corner of the app's home screen. Then, tap "View Profile" from the menu that slides out.
• Step 2: Scroll to Your Activity. Just like on desktop, scroll down your profile until you see the "Activity" section.
• Step 3: See All Activity. Tap "Show all activity" to open your complete history feed.
• Step 4: Filter by Posts. At the top of the activity screen, you'll see filter options. Tap "Posts" to isolate just the content you've published. Now you can scroll through and find the post you were looking for.

Beyond Just Finding Your Posts: What to Do Next

Okay, so you've found your post. Great! But the real work of a content creator or marketer starts after you publish. Now it's time to check its performance, engage with your audience, and learn what resonates so you can make your next post even better. For tips on how to create engaging LinkedIn posts, check out our dedicated guide.

Reviewing Engagement: Reading the Room

Underneath each of your posts, you'll see summary stats for likes, comments, and reposts. This is the surface-level engagement. But the most valuable data is hidden one click deeper. For a full breakdown, learn how to analyze LinkedIn post performance.

• Check Your Impressions: On any of your posts, you'll see a small bar chart icon with a number next to it, often labeled "impressions." Click on this to open up a simple analytics dashboard for that specific post. This number tells you how many times your post was shown in someone's feed. High impressions are good, but they don't tell the whole story.
• Analyze the Comment Section: This is where you build your community. Are people asking questions? Are they sharing their own experiences? Pay close attention to the quality of the comments, not just the quantity. Meaningful conversations are a sign of truly resonant content. Actionable tip: Make it a rule to reply to every single genuine comment. This encourages more discussion and tells the LinkedIn algorithm that your post is driving valuable interaction, which often leads to more reach.
• See Who's Liking and Sharing: The "Likes" total gives you another piece of the puzzle. Look at who is engaging with your content. Are they from your target industry? Are they potential customers or collaborators? When someone reposts your content, it's a strong signal that they found it genuinely valuable - valuable enough to share it with their own network.

Editing, Deleting, and Controlling Your Visibility

Sometimes you post and then realize you have to make a change. Maybe it's a small typo, an awkward sentence, or you've decided the post is better for a smaller audience. Here's a quick guide to post-publication management.

How to Edit a LinkedIn Post (and Its Limitations)

Made a mistake? No problem.

1. Navigate to the post you want to edit.
2. Click the three-dot icon (...) in the top-right corner of the post.
3. Select "Edit post" from the dropdown menu.

You can now change the text of your post. However, there's a big limitation: you cannot change or replace the image, video, or document attached to the post after it's published. If the visual is wrong, your only option is to delete the post and start over, which means you'll lose any engagement you've already received. For more details, see how to edit a LinkedIn post image after posting.

When and Why You Should Delete a Post

Generally, it's best to avoid deleting posts, especially if they've generated some conversation. However, there are a few good reasons to hit the delete button (found in the same three-dot menu):

• Factual errors: If you've shared incorrect information, deleting and republishing with a correction is often the most responsible thing to do.
• A major typo in the visual: As mentioned, you can't edit images or videos. If there's a glaring error in your creative asset, deleting and reposting is the only fix.
• Off-brand content: If a post completely missed the mark and feels out of alignment with your professional brand, it might be better to remove it.

Don't delete a post just because it has low engagement. Sometimes content needs more time to find its audience, or it can still serve as a valuable part of your content library for people who visit your profile later.

Changing Who Can See Your Post

Maybe you shared something you intended for your professional connections but accidentally set it to "Public." You can change this after the fact. Click the three-dot menu (...) on the post and select "Who can see this post?". From here, you can switch the visibility between Public, Connections, and Group members (if posted in a group).

Uncovering Your LinkedIn Archives: How to Find Older Content

What if you need to find a post from six months or even two years ago? Scrolling endlessly through your activity feed is inefficient and frustrating. Luckily, LinkedIn's search is more powerful than most people realize.

The Power of Search for Finding Your Own Posts

Here's a fantastic trick for pinpointing old content:

1. Go to the Main Search Bar. It's at the very top of the LinkedIn page.
2. Type a Keyword. Think of a unique word or phrase from the post you're looking for and search for it.
3. Filter the Search Results. You'll get a page with a mix of people, jobs, and posts. At the top of this results page, click the "Posts" filter button.
4. Filter by Author. This is the key step. On the right side of the results page (on desktop), you'll see an "All Filters" option. Click it. A new window will pop up with more specific filters. Under "Author," you can select "Posted by me."

This will show you every single public post you've made that contains your keyword. It's an incredibly effective way to dig up old content to repurpose, reference, or link to.

From Reactive to Proactive: Building an Organized Content System

Constantly searching for your posts after the fact is a reactive approach. As a marketer or a personal brand builder, you benefit enormously from being proactive. The best way to never "lose" a post again is to have a simple system for tracking your content before it even goes live. Learning how to schedule posts on LinkedIn is a key component of this strategy.

Maintain a Simple Content Workspace

You don't need a complex or expensive tool to get started. A simple spreadsheet (like Google Sheets) or a project board (like Trello or Notion) can be a total game-changer.

Create a simple calendar view or a list with these columns:

• Publish Date: When the post is scheduled to go live.
• Post Text/Copy: The full text of your post.
• Visuals/Links: A link to the image or video file you plan to use.
• Status: A simple dropdown for "Ready," "Published," or "Needs Review."
• Live Post URL: (Important!) After you publish, grab the direct link to the LinkedIn post (click the three-dot menu >, Copy link to post) and paste it here. This creates a permanent library of all your content that you control.
• Key Metrics (Optional): A week or so after posting, you can come back and log the impressions, likes, and comments. Over time, this helps you quickly spot patterns in what works.

This simple system ensures you always have a record of what you said, when you said it, and how it performed, making it much easier to stay consistent and build an effective content strategy.

Final Thoughts

Finding your posts on LinkedIn is simple once you know that the "Activity" section on your profile is your central hub. But truly managing your content goes beyond finding it - it's about regularly reviewing performance, engaging with your audience, and building an organized system so you're never scrambling for a past post again.

Creating that organized system is exactly why we built Postbase. As social media managers ourselves, we grew tired of messy spreadsheets and the endless search for what we'd posted. Our tool is designed around a clean, visual calendar that lets you see all your scheduled and published content in one place. It streamlines everything from planning and collaborating with your team to analyzing performance in a dashboard that actually makes sense, so you can spend less time hunting and more time creating.
