What Are Document Posts?

Document Posts allow users to upload the following types of files to their posts:

  • PDF

  2. Click the document upload icon.
  3. Select the file you want to share (PDF, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX).
  4. Add a title for your document to give your audience context.
  5. Write your post content to introduce or highlight the document.
  6. Click Post to share it with your audience.

Your uploaded document will appear directly in your post, allowing viewers to preview and scroll through the content without leaving LinkedIn.
