What's the difference between pinning and featuring?
LinkedIn has three related options:
- Company Pages can't use the profile Featured section. It's for individual profiles only.
| Option | Where | Who | How many |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pin to top | Top of a company Page's posts | Super and content admins | One; being discontinued |
| Feature | Featured section on the Page's Home tab | Super admins | Up to six (the pinning page says three) |
| Featured section | Your personal profile | You | Unlimited, but only 400 are displayed |

How do you feature a post on a LinkedIn Page?
From the post itself, a super admin clicks the More icon and selects Feature. Or, from the admin view:
- Go to your Page's super admin view.
- Click Edit page in the left menu.
- Click the Featured tab.
- Click Manage featured.
- Click Select below the post you want to feature.
- You can't feature job posts, event posts or posts targeted at a specific audience.
- Pasting a post URL from a personal profile features it on that profile, not on the Page.

Can you still pin a post on a LinkedIn Page?
While the option lasts, a super or content admin can:
- Go to the Page's admin view and click Page posts.
- Click the Posts tab.
- Click the More icon on the post.
- Select Pin to top. Select Un-pin from top to undo it.
- A pinned post shows Pinned in its corner and moves to the top of the Posts and Recent posts sections.
- Any audience targeting on the post is ignored once it's pinned.
- Unpinning returns the post to its usual place. It doesn't delete it.

How do you add posts to your profile's Featured section?
On desktop:
- Click the Me icon, then View Profile.
- Click Add profile section.
- Open Recommended and select Add Featured.
- Click the Add icon on the Featured page.
- Choose posts, articles, links or media and follow the prompts.
- Click Save or Done.
- To reorder, edit, remove or delete, click the Edit icon on your Featured section. Reordering needs at least two items.
- Remove from Featured takes an item out of the section but keeps the post in your Activity. Delete removes it from your profile.

- In the app: tap your profile photo, View profile, Add section, Recommended, then Add featured.

Why can't I pin or feature a post on LinkedIn?
Common causes:
- Your Featured section follows your profile visibility. If your posts are limited to connections, only connections see them there.
| Problem | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No Pin to top on a Page post | LinkedIn is discontinuing pinning | Feature the post instead |
| No Feature option | You're not a super admin | Ask a super admin to feature it |
| Post can't be featured on the Page | It's a job, event or targeted post | Feature a different post |
| Can't feature an event or Group post on your profile | Those aren't allowed | Share a post of your own about it |
| Featured section hidden on your profile | Nothing is featured yet | Add at least one item |

Common questions
Can you pin a post on a LinkedIn company Page?
LinkedIn says pinning on Pages is being discontinued. It recommends featuring posts instead, from the post's More menu.
How many posts can a LinkedIn Page feature?
LinkedIn's featuring page says up to six. Its older pinning page says up to three, so check what your admin view allows.
Can I pin a post to my personal LinkedIn profile?
Yes, by adding it to your Featured section, either from the post's More menu or with Add profile section, then Add Featured.
Does removing a post from Featured delete it?
No. Remove from Featured keeps it in your Activity. Only Delete removes it from your profile.
Who can feature posts on a LinkedIn Page?
Only super admins. Content admins could pin posts while that option existed.
