How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts

Schedule LinkedIn posts when you want a post to go live at a set time without being online. This guide gives the steps for desktop and mobile, the rules for a company profile and the way to view, edit or delete a scheduled post. Every step comes from LinkedIn Help, read on 25 October 2026.

How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts

You can schedule LinkedIn posts from the post window on desktop and in the app. Both routes use the clock icon, and both give you a date and time to set.

On Desktop

1. Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
2. Type your post in the What do you want to talk about? field.
3. Click the clock icon in the lower right corner of the window.
4. Select a date and time. You can choose from the dropdown or type an exact time.
5. Click Next. The date and time appear above the post.
6. Click Schedule. A confirmation appears on the lower left.

On iPhone and Android

1. Tap Post in the navigation bar.
2. Type your post in the Share your thoughts field.
3. Tap the clock icon in the upper right corner.
4. Select a date and time in the Schedule window.
5. Tap Next and then tap Schedule.

What can You Schedule on LinkedIn?

You can schedule LinkedIn posts for a personal profile or a company profile, and the rules differ. The table shows what LinkedIn Help lists for both.

How to Schedule LinkedIn Posts for a Company Profile

A company profile schedules from the admin view, and only a super admin or a content admin can do it. LinkedIn Help says the post publishes at the set time automatically, and the same rule covers a newsletter article.

1. Go to your company profile admin view.
2. Open the posts item in the left menu and click Start a post.
3. Click the clock icon in the lower right to open the Schedule post window.
4. Choose a date and time between one hour and 3 months ahead, then click Next and Schedule.

After you schedule a company post, LinkedIn Help lists four actions. You can post it now, edit the text, modify the schedule or delete it. You can also view, edit, reschedule and delete posts scheduled by other admins.

One rule saves work. If an admin leaves the company profile, LinkedIn Help says the posts that admin scheduled move to the admin who removed them.

How to View, Edit or Delete a Scheduled LinkedIn Post

Open the post window first. If posts wait in the queue, the clock icon shows a badge with their number, says LinkedIn Help.

1. Click Start a post on desktop, or tap Post on mobile.
2. Click the clock icon.
3. Click View all scheduled posts on desktop, or tap View all on mobile.
4. Click a post to preview it.

To change a post, click the More icon in the upper right and choose Modify schedule or Edit post. To remove it, click the Delete icon next to the post and confirm. LinkedIn Help says a deleted company post cannot be recovered.

If you change your mind before you schedule, click Edit next to the time above the post and clear the time. Then click Post to publish at once or close the window to discard the draft.

Which Time Zone does a Scheduled LinkedIn Post Use?

LinkedIn Help says scheduled times convert to UTC based on your device time zone settings. The dropdown moves in 30 minute steps, and you can type a specific time instead. A reschedule of a company post also uses your location for the time, says LinkedIn Help.

Some vendor results list 5 minute steps. LinkedIn Help lists none, so check your own dropdown before you plan a post to the minute.

Can You Schedule LinkedIn Posts for Free?

LinkedIn Help names no fee and no Premium requirement for native scheduling in the articles we read. The clock icon is part of the post window, which how to post on LinkedIn walks through. For video, see LinkedIn video. Outside schedulers exist, but LinkedIn Help does not cover them, so this guide stays with the built-in tool.

What is Still Unconfirmed

LinkedIn Help gives no cap on how many posts you can queue, and no reason when the queue looks empty. It gives no ideal time to post, so we make no claim on timing. The personal steps were updated about two weeks before 25 October 2026, and the company steps about 11 months before. We did not schedule a post on a live account, so the label on this guide is Checked. Menu names move between app versions, so compare every step with your own screen.
