How to see scheduled posts on LinkedIn, and change them.

On desktop, click Start a post, click the Clock icon at the bottom of the post window, then View all scheduled posts. In the LinkedIn app, tap Post, tap the Clock icon, then View all. From that list you can preview a post; the More icon on each one offers Modify schedule and Edit post, and the Delete icon next to the post removes it after a confirmation. LinkedIn schedules between 10 minutes and 3 months ahead, stores the time in UTC from your device's settings, and cannot schedule events, jobs or services.

Where LinkedIn keeps the list

LinkedIn has no Scheduled tab on your profile, no entry in the left rail and nothing under Activity. The list of posts waiting to go out lives inside the composer, behind the same Clock icon you used to schedule them. If you closed the window after scheduling, that is why the post seems to have vanished. It has not. Open the composer again and the clock is the door.

The steps below are LinkedIn's own, from its help article Schedule posts, read on 22 September 2026. The desktop and mobile paths differ in where the clock sits and what the last button says, so each gets its own list.

On desktop, at linkedin.com

  1. 01

    Click Start a post

    At the top of your LinkedIn homepage, click Start a post. The Create a post window opens; you do not need to type anything.

  2. 02

    Click the Clock icon

    It sits in the bottom bar of the Create a post window, the same icon you used to schedule. The Schedule post window opens.

  3. 03

    Click View all scheduled posts

    The link is in the lower-left corner of the Schedule post window. Your Scheduled posts page lists every post waiting to go out, with its date and time.

  4. 04

    Click a post to preview it

    The post opens as it will appear. The More icon in its upper right offers Modify schedule and Edit post. To delete a post, click the Delete icon next to it in the list and confirm.

Also on desktop

To schedule in the first place: write the post, click the Clock icon, pick a date and time, click Next, then Schedule. LinkedIn's help page places the clock in the lower-right corner when you schedule and describes it as lower-left when you go back to view the list; it is the same bottom bar either way.

In the LinkedIn app, on iPhone and Android

  1. 01

    Tap Post in the navigation bar

    The Share post screen opens. Leave it empty; you are here for the list.

  2. 02

    Tap the Clock icon

    On mobile it sits in the upper-right corner of the post screen. The Schedule pop-up opens.

  3. 03

    Tap View all

    Your scheduled posts appear as a list. Tap one to preview it; the More icon in its upper right offers Modify schedule and Edit post. To delete a post, tap the Delete icon next to it in the list and confirm.

The differences from desktop

On mobile the Clock icon sits in the upper-right corner of the post screen, the list opens from a button that reads View all in place of View all scheduled posts, and the Schedule button is upper-right too. LinkedIn also notes that on mobile the scheduled time is standardised in UTC relative to your current location, where on desktop it follows your device's time zone settings. A post scheduled from an airport lounge in another zone is worth a second look.

Edit, reschedule or delete a scheduled post

From the scheduled posts list, click or tap a post to preview it. The More icon in the post's upper right opens two choices, Modify schedule and Edit post. Deleting is a separate control: click or tap the Delete icon next to the post in the list, and confirm in the "Delete scheduled post?" window. LinkedIn's wording is that once a post is scheduled "you can reschedule the publish time or delete the post", with Edit post beside them for the text.

If you scheduled a post and then decided against it, the quickest route is the same list: find the post, click the Delete icon beside it, confirm. A scheduled post that reaches its time goes out under your name whether or not you are online, so the list is worth a glance at the end of each week.

What LinkedIn's post scheduler can and cannot do

It can

  • Schedule a post on your own profile from 10 minutes to 3 months ahead, with the time rounded to the nearest interval.
  • Hold the post you wrote in the standard composer. On attached images, video or documents, LinkedIn's page lists no restriction and says nothing either way.
  • Let you preview, reschedule or edit the text from the post's More icon, and delete it with the Delete icon beside it, until it goes out.
  • Schedule from desktop and from the app, with the list reachable from both.

It cannot

  • Schedule events, jobs or services. LinkedIn lists those three as unsupported.
  • Schedule more than 3 months out, or less than 10 minutes out.
  • Show the list anywhere except inside the composer. There is no calendar, no week view and no count of what is waiting.
  • Hold a draft you have not finished. It stores finished posts with a time on them; the thinking, the queue and the plan for the week are yours to keep elsewhere (the free count the posts in your week calculator lays that plan out by day).
  • Post the same take to X, or tell you afterwards how the slot performed beyond the post's own analytics once it is live.

Company Pages are a separate system with their own scheduled-posts page and a different set of steps; LinkedIn documents them under Scheduled posts for LinkedIn Pages. Everything above is about a personal profile, which is where a founder's posts live.

One habit that saves the most grief: check the time zone before you press Schedule. The picker shows a local time, LinkedIn stores it against your device's zone, and a laptop still set to last week's trip publishes at last week's hour. If you want the number behind the hour, the best time to post on LinkedIn is measured on this site from public posts, with the caveats printed beside it.

How Sonar schedules and publishes

Every post in Sonar is a card on one board with four columns, Drafts to Ready to Scheduled to Posted. Drag a card into Scheduled, or open it and pick a date and time under Schedule, and it sits there in plain view with its slot on it until it goes out. A new draft takes a default slot of 9:00 the next morning in your own time zone, which Sonar learns from your browser; move it wherever you like, as long as it is in the future.

With LinkedIn connected, a check runs every 15 minutes and publishes any post whose status is Scheduled and whose time has arrived: text, one image, a PDF carousel or a video. Only that status goes out on its own. A draft, or a post you marked Ready, waits until you move it. If your LinkedIn connection has expired when the slot comes, the post stays in the Scheduled column for you to post by hand and Settings asks you to reconnect. Prefer to post at once? Post to LinkedIn now publishes it and hands back the live link. The LinkedIn platform page has the connection and everything it publishes.

The same board schedules X. A take longer than X allows becomes a native thread and stays one card, so your week's count is honest. Two limits of the LinkedIn connection, stated plainly: Sonar publishes to your own profile and never to a Company Page, and it cannot post your first comment for you, because LinkedIn's self-serve API tier does not allow it. On Post to LinkedIn now, Sonar copies the comment to your clipboard for a one-paste add; on a scheduled post it stays with the card for you to paste once the post is live.
