How the Featured section works
- Supported content: LinkedIn posts and articles you authored, external links, images, documents, presentations and videos.
- Curated, not automatic: choose what to feature and reorder items so the strongest proof appears first.
- Visibility follows settings: restricted posts remain restricted, and viewers must be signed in to LinkedIn.
- Not searchable: LinkedIn says Featured content itself is not discoverable through search; it strengthens the profile after a visitor arrives.
- Protect confidential information: remove client names, personal data, security details and internal financial information unless sharing is authorized.
Important: Featuring profile-section content such as Experience, certifications and recommendations is described by LinkedIn as a Premium Business, Sales Navigator or Recruiter feature. Standard work-sample options such as posts, articles, links and media remain documented separately.
