How to schedule LinkedIn posts on your profile and Company Page
Schedule LinkedIn posts on your profile or Company Page up to 3 months ahead, find and edit them, and what LinkedIn won’t let you schedule.
7 minute read By SocialHelper team
Yes, you can schedule LinkedIn posts, on your own profile and on a Company Page. Start a post, click the clock icon, pick a date and time, then click Next and Schedule. LinkedIn’s help says a profile post can be scheduled from 10 minutes to 3 months ahead, and a Page post from 1 hour to 3 months. A scheduler such as SocialHelper holds the post itself and can plan up to 1 year ahead.
Profiles and Pages follow different rules, and the differences matter when you plan ahead. Everything below follows LinkedIn’s help pages and API documentation as they read on October 17, 2026.
Profile and Page scheduling compared
A LinkedIn Page is an organization’s presence on LinkedIn, managed by admins from their own profiles through an admin view (LinkedIn Help: Access LinkedIn Pages admin view). LinkedIn sets different scheduling rules for Pages and for personal profiles. A scheduled post is a finished post saved with a future publishing time, which LinkedIn then publishes automatically.
| Your profile | A Company Page | |
|---|---|---|
| How far ahead | 10 minutes to 3 months | 1 hour to 3 months |
| Who can schedule | You | Super admins and content admins |
| Can’t be scheduled | Events, jobs | Events, multiple photos, reshares, polls, jobs, service posts |
| Find scheduled posts | Clock icon, then View all scheduled posts | Page posts, clock icon, then View all scheduled posts |
The profile column comes from LinkedIn’s help page on scheduling posts, and the Page column from its pages on scheduling for LinkedIn Pages, both linked in the sections below.
How to schedule a post on your LinkedIn profile
LinkedIn says you “can schedule a post between 10 minutes and 3 months from the current time,” and gives these steps for a computer (LinkedIn Help: Schedule posts).
- Click Start a post at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, and write your post in the What do you want to talk about? field.
- Select the clock icon in the lower right of the post window, then choose the date and time.
- Click Next, confirm the scheduled time shown above the post, and click Schedule.
The time menu moves in 30-minute increments, but you can type an exact time instead. LinkedIn converts scheduled times to UTC from your device’s time zone, so check the zone before you schedule for readers elsewhere, for example a 9:00 post meant for colleagues in another country. On the LinkedIn app, tap Post, write the post, tap the clock icon in the upper right, then choose the time, tap Next and tap Schedule.
How to see, edit or delete scheduled LinkedIn posts
LinkedIn has no separate page for scheduled posts. They’re kept behind the clock icon in the post window, and a badge on that icon shows how many are waiting. To open the list on a computer, click Start a post on your homepage, select the clock icon, then choose View all scheduled posts. In the LinkedIn app, tap Post, the clock icon and View all.
Select a post to preview it. To change its content or its timing, open the More menu and choose Edit post or Modify schedule. To remove it, select the Delete icon beside it and confirm the deletion.
How to schedule a post on a LinkedIn Company Page
Only a super admin or a content admin of the Page can schedule its posts. LinkedIn allows “anywhere between an hour from the current time to three months in advance” (LinkedIn Help: Schedule a LinkedIn Page post).
- Open your Page’s super admin or content admin view, select Page posts in the left menu, then Start a post.
- Select the clock icon in the lower right and choose the date and time.
- Click Next, finish the post, and click Schedule.
Pages can’t schedule events, multiple photos, reshares, polls, jobs or service posts, so post those right away. A scheduled post can’t be promoted through Campaign Manager’s existing content until it’s live on your Page.
Scheduling makes a steady rhythm easier, and LinkedIn ties that rhythm to growth. Its Page FAQ says that “pages that post weekly have over five times more followers that grow seven times faster than pages that post monthly” (LinkedIn Help: LinkedIn Page posts FAQ). The best time to post on LinkedIn shows where to find when your followers are active.
Find, edit or delete scheduled Page posts
From the Page’s admin view, click Page posts, then Start a post, the clock icon and View all scheduled posts. Click More next to a post to choose Modify schedule, Edit post or Delete post, and the post’s menu also offers Post now. Admins can see and change posts scheduled by other admins. If an admin is removed from the Page, their scheduled posts move to the admin who removed them (LinkedIn Help: Scheduled posts for LinkedIn Pages). A deleted scheduled post can’t be recovered, so reschedule it instead if only the time is wrong (LinkedIn Help: Delete a scheduled LinkedIn Page post).
How apps schedule LinkedIn posts
LinkedIn’s Posts API can’t schedule. When an app creates a post, “PUBLISHED is the only accepted field,” so the post goes live the moment the app sends it (Microsoft Learn: LinkedIn Posts API). A scheduler therefore keeps the post and sends it at the chosen time. The API does report other states afterwards, such as PUBLISH_REQUESTED while LinkedIn is still processing the content and PUBLISH_FAILED when processing didn’t succeed and the post needs an edit.
The connection also expires. LinkedIn says that “all access tokens are issued with a 60-day lifespan” (Microsoft Learn: Authorization Code Flow). An app without partner access can’t renew that token on its own, so the member has to sign in again about every two months. The LinkedIn API guide covers access tiers and posting in more detail.
Schedule LinkedIn with your other networks in SocialHelper
A scheduler helps when LinkedIn is one of several places you post, or when you plan further ahead than 3 months. In SocialHelper you write the post once, pick your LinkedIn profile and any other connected accounts, and choose When.
- Schedule sends it at the date and time you pick, up to 1 year ahead.
- Add to queue assigns your next available posting time. Posting times are recurring weekly slots your team configures once, up to 70 a week.
Because LinkedIn access lasts 60 days, SocialHelper shows a Reconnect by date on the account and emails the team owner a reminder before access ends. Reconnect in time and the scheduled posts stay in place and go out as planned (reconnect help). Posts are checked against LinkedIn’s rules before they’re scheduled. Text stops at 3,000 characters, counted the way LinkedIn counts them, so most emoji and the “bold” letters explained in the LinkedIn text formatting guide count as two. A profile post takes up to 20 photos. You can edit or cancel a scheduled post until about a minute before it goes out.
Live now: LinkedIn. LinkedIn Pages is built and waiting on approval from the platform, and appears in the dashboard once approved.
Frequently asked questions
Can you schedule LinkedIn posts for free?
Yes. LinkedIn’s scheduler is built into the post window, for personal profiles and Company Pages, at no cost.
How do I see my scheduled posts on LinkedIn?
Select Start a post, then the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts. For a Company Page, begin from Page posts in the admin view and follow the same path.
How do I edit a scheduled post on LinkedIn?
Open your scheduled posts from the clock icon, click the More icon on the post, and choose Edit post to change the text or Modify schedule to change the time.
How far in advance can you schedule LinkedIn posts?
Up to 3 months in LinkedIn itself, from 10 minutes ahead on a profile or 1 hour ahead on a Page. SocialHelper schedules up to 1 year ahead because it publishes the post itself.
Why can’t I schedule a poll on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn doesn’t let Pages schedule polls, events, jobs, reshares, service posts or posts with multiple photos. On a profile, its help lists events and jobs as the posts you can’t schedule.
Do scheduled posts get less reach on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn’s help pages on scheduling don’t mention any difference in reach. They say only that a scheduled Page post is published “at the set date and time automatically,” without any note about how it’s shown.
How we checked this
We read LinkedIn’s help pages on scheduling for profiles and Pages, and its pages on rescheduling, editing and deleting scheduled Page posts, on October 17, 2026. We also read Microsoft Learn’s LinkedIn documentation for the Posts API and access tokens that day, then ran a fact check of every step and limit against them. We analyzed SocialHelper’s LinkedIn modules and scheduling code on October 17, 2026 for the last section.
If LinkedIn changes these steps, contact us and we’ll update the guide.
